De schoonheid van het ongewenste / The beauty of the unwanted
Onkruid zijn de planten die niemand uitnodigde, maar die toch verschijnen, in de rand van het pad, tussen de stoeptegels, langs de spoorberm. Hardnekkig. Inventief.

Onkruid , Dutch for weed. The plants nobody invited, yet they appear anyway. In the verge of the path, between the paving stones, along the railway bank. Stubborn. Inventive. Surprisingly beautiful.
This bird mask, infused with lavender and wormwood, symbolizes the desperate attempts of people during the plague to protect themselves from the devastating disease. While the mask was not able to stop the plague, the herbs bear witness to the ancient knowledge of their medicinal powers. They remain reminders of the quest for healing amidst dark times.
