'The mentos series is all about a shape which is very dear to me. A grounded ball, flattened by gravity. Enclosed and sealed with a cork stopper, hiding an unknown content inside.

'I was born in the Netherlands. I left for Hong Kong for my work as a fashion designer. I left Hong Kong for Italy with a new hobby: Pottery.

I live in Italy now where I left fashion for the world of ceramics. My most recent public appearance was during the Milan Design Week (September 2021) at the 1000 Vases Show at Superstudio Pi, including a five-page publication in the 1000 Vases book.'
