Last weekend was very exiting for me. After months of hard work, grey hairs and sometimes utter desperation...my art installation "The Path of Desire" finally stood shining like a candle in the wind. Reality and dreamworld forged into one. So strange to see your ideas take form and see it's shiny reflection on the water. I was totally flabbergasted by the reactions of the visitors, who were asked what their desires in life were. The frankness, the touching stories you would hear, the way people opened up their hearts to a total stranger were mesmerising. I designed this softly flowing object, but I could have never imagined the power and the attraction that it had on so many different people (old an young). It's really left me breathless and a bit clueless as well...:) Maybe I'm an artist/designer after all.
It goes without saying that this project never could have succeeded without the help of Mareado (the company who gave me the assignment), the company who build it and last but not least: the very enthusiastic and enigmatic interviewers without whom the touching stories never would have made it to my and other one's ears. So thanx everyone...it was a blast.

Good job, especially in the photos. Where is it actually?
It was a artproject in the Summerterras festival in Vlaardingen this weekend.
Congratulations! A major achievement!
