Animation
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.
- Fullmetal Alchemist
Inspired by the first law of Equivalent Exchange from the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, I created this animation with which I rethinked my relationship with technology. It brings me so much pleasure, knowledge and convenience, what am I giving in return as a human being?
AI AI BARBIE & OTHER SMART TOYS

Four videos to think about the possible effects of smart toys on the relationship between parent and child, on children's behaviour, fantasy and their identity. This project was commissioned by SETUP Utrecht as part of their research program AI AI Barbie & Other Smart Toys with Waag Society.

Our Western, ‘civilized’ society is driven by capitalism. It determines our goals, addresses our greed, seduces us to consume and has an exhausting effect on our ecology. With Homunculus Economicus, I went back to the earliest stages of capitalist conditioning, where children are getting prepared to become the future perfect consumer. This project was created for my graduation in 2018.
MUTUALLY CONFINED
Video
Relationships seem to change between individuals due to our digital environment. Two worlds exist within a relationship. Which world do we appreciate more? To what extent do we exchange the physical for the virtual? This shortfilm was screened on the Cinedans festival at Eye Amsterdam. Made in collaboration with Melissa Sanoesi.
