At the end of 2024 I got the opportunity to put my illustrations to use in a youth opera. For the show ‘Koekjes’ (Cookies) I got to create a world in which the singers would play the opera. In multiple creative sessions with the director these settings evolved. Endless cityscapes, haunting silhouettes, surrealistic clockworks. Playing with rules of perspective, putting it to use in a movable decor.
Next to painting the panels I got to experiment with an overhead projector which was used in the scenery. A diverse and challenging project in which I got to transfer my imagination in multiple forms.
