I am spellbound by the way nature finds its way in all the little places, even of the most hardest environments: the city.

One thing is for sure: In the long run, nature always wins over human culture.
There are too many sites where we dig up the physical remains of a once thriving culture which does not exist anymore.
In my art I try to make this visible.
I also have a very irregular blog: https://www.catweazlemagic.nl/blog.html
