3 “Growth Systems” wall panel. In the original French: “Le corps devient le composant d’un tout, relié à sa physicalité mais aussi à son esprit et à son âme. Elle puise dans les singularités du vivant pour en extraire des écosystèmes, des processus de croissance, des interconnexions.”

In the original French: “L’infiniment petit s’est imposé pour lui révéler la beauté d’êtres invisibles et lui ouvrir la voie à des grammaires esthétiques et à des matérialités nouvelles.” “Bulles suspendues dans l’espace, éclaboussures transparentes, brume, vagues turquoise ou outremer, les œuvres aquatiques d’Iris van Herpen révèlent les mystères et les pouvoirs métamorphiques de l’eau qui se manifestent à travers tout un éventail de matériaux et techniques […].”
