A girl entertains herself on a swing against the background of the demolition of old factory buildings. An industrial city where old dilapidated buildings are being demolished to make way for modern industry, the Philips buildings in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. My birth and place of residence.
My Wasteland is one of the many 'swing' artworks that I have made. It depicts the freedom you feel as a child. At the same time it shows how locked up the children live today. Inside, behind their laptops and smartphones.
I made the original artwork with collage, acrylic paint, spray paint and oil pastel chalk.
