I have been a rebellious admirer of Rococo since I was born and wanted to touch my smiling mother's curly hair: “The aesthetic of the Rococo feels very familiar to me, and there are lots of things that I, as a woman and also as a girl growing up, interacted with which seem to have a Rococo sensibility to them,” Read this article on artnet

Where do I begin to tell the story of how great a love can be?
Golden beautiful couple Nienke Bawa and Bob Kootte fell in love, lived together and loved each other only for a few years and died last August of a mysterious poisoning in Colombia.
The questions around their death did not get clear answers yet.
I am so grateful the parents of Bob Kootte asked me to make an artwork to celebrate the lives of their beloved son Bob and his girlfriend Nienke with the flowers of their funeral.
We celebrated the revelation of their Eternal Love story.  Bob❤️Nienke

Each morning when I enter our studio garden I see that nothing is more beautiful than the stillness of our garden in the morning sun. Last year we planted the Persian sleeping tree, called "Hé Huān Huā" in Chinese. The pink fluffy tassels call me: ´Hey ho! see me. I want you to make me see us.
We are dancing here for you, almost in the air'. The fern-like green leaflets are very sensitive, they close at nighttime ánd when you touch them. Hope you see them bloom one of these weeks. Mimosa bark (Albizia julibrissin) has a rich history in traditional Chinese medicine. The Materia Medica states that Hé Huān Pí calms the five Yinne Organs, makes people happy without worry; literally makes their eyes shine.
The Chinese 'the tree of collective happiness' also known as 'silk tree'.
