(and the sound of a quintillion tiny shivering leaves)

Presented at the Gerrit Rietveld Graduation Show
Selected by the Thesis Committee for Rietveld Review(ed)

Booklet, pressed plants, seeds, rocks

About plant-breeding and lost keys,
rock particles and bread-baking,
remembering and forgetting,
taxonomy and supermarkets,
seeds, tea bags, raindrops
and walking.

’all forgotten things (and the sound of a quintillion tiny shivering leaves)’ is an auto-fictional narrative that weaves together personal storytelling and ecological reflection. Blending poetic language with critical insight, it explores contemporary approaches to environmental care, addressing themes of alienation and a deep yearning for what lies beyond the urban landscape.

The text is presented as an artist-made book, featuring a rock on the cover and with a small collection of dried plants and visual material embedded within.
