Land Mark (Foot Prints)
Land Mark (Foot Prints) documents activist collaborations in Vieques, where altered shoe soles stamped protest slogans onto former military land. The photographs capture fragile, temporary marks of dissent that question land use, power, and reclamation through everyday actions.
Walking to Save Some Sea – My 46000 Challenge
Walking to Save Some Sea documents Fran Crowe’s year-long response to ocean plastic pollution. Between 2006–07 she walked 200km of coastline, collecting 46,000 pieces of litter - one square mile’s worth—turning personal action into a call for collective responsibility.
Armor
Armor (2015) by Kubra Khademi is a provocative performance in which the artist wore a metal breastplate mimicking exaggerated female anatomy, challenging societal norms and gender roles in Kabul. The piece led to exile after violent backlash, marking a pivotal moment in her career.

The UITLAATTUIN explores the idea of portable greenery and mobile nature in urban spaces. Imagine stepping into a wearable garden, strapping on shoulder harnesses, and strolling through the city with plants and grasses around you—creating a personal escape in the bustle.
The project began with the OMSLUITTUIN (Enclosed Garden) for the Hortus Conclusus exhibition at the Museum for Religious Art in Uden, created in collaboration with sculptor Hans van Lunteren. In this concept, nature encloses and shields the human, reversing the typical dynamic. The OMSLUITTUIN reflects the Garden of Eden, where humans lived harmoniously with nature—an intimate, personal paradise.
The project flips the human-nature relationship by enclosing the wearer with a portable garden, the Homo Hortus Conclusus. The garden can be worn and taken into nature, offering both a commentary on environmental protection and a playful approach to how we interact with our surroundings.
The UITLAATTUIN is an evolved version, providing a more manageable, mobile garden that can be filled with herbs, vegetables, or plants. It allows users to make ecological statements or even create a mobile weather station using guichelheil, a plant known for its response to impending bad weather.
