Annual Honesty, 2024
Inspired by the old painters, photographer Kieke Kurstjens (WDKA) revives herbs or weeds which we previously overlooked. Her still lifes are more than just studies of wild nature; they are monuments of mindfulness, tranquillity, and wonder. The fruit of a small, personal act of resistance to the contemporary fixation on growth, functionality, and the individual. This ode to simplicity stimulates subtle encounters between viewer and environment.
