On June 6th 2022, the 11th edition of De Poorten van Reijmerstok, the international art biennial exhibition in Reijmerstok will take place. Due to corona, the event could not take place in 2020 and 2021. This had both negative social and financial consequences. The largest social activity disappeared, where hundreds of residents, artists and volunteers live and collaborate for months. Income fell away, as a result of which the association life of Reijmerstok and the surrounding area experienced significant financial losses.

The artwork 'I can't breathe' is an ambiguous representation of the systemic (systematic) oppression in our (Western) society. The work holds up a mirror to us. We live in an unjust and unequal society. A faulty system. The phrase "I can't breathe" is like a mantra of systemic oppression ending in noise and tragedy. The words are aggressively intertwined like a kind of impenetrable chainmail which makes any dialogue impossible. A chaotic darkness.

On September 4 and 5, 2021 the art installation Inside the rainbow (you find yourself) could be seen and experienced during the annual art event plateauKUNST in South Limburg, the Netherlands. The event was attended by more than 3000 visitors.

Rainbow marks the entrance of Stevensweert as a colorful landmark, situated on a large fishing pond in a beautiful, green environment.
