In Elemental Visions, the worlds of science, materiality, and imagination converge through the work of Sanne Terweij and Lotte Ekkel. This captivating duo exhibition explores the interplay between raw elements and ethereal beauty, crafting a narrative where the tangible and the intangible seamlessly coexist.
Sanne Terweij, a creative chemist, transforms base metals such as copper, brass and aluminum into striking works of art. Her process is rooted in the scientific principles of alchemy, where materials react, evolve, and transform into abstract, tex- tured compositions. Each piece tells a story of experimentation and metamorphosis, revealing the beauty of imperfection and the power of nature’s elements.
In contrast, Lotte Ekkel brings a luminous and whimsical perspective through her photography. Known for her bright, other- worldly imagery, Lotte captures moments that feel both grounded and dreamlike. Her work invites viewers to see the ex- traordinary in the ordinary, presenting vibrant narratives that blur the lines between reality and fantasy.
Together, Terweij and Ekkel create a dialogue between material and light, science and art. Their works share an intriguing play on perception, with optical illusions emerging as a unifying thread. Elemental Visions is an exploration of transformati- on, imagination, and the interconnectedness of our physical and visual worlds. The result is an immersive experience where the alchemy of metals meets the wonder of photography, forming a shared vision that is both elemental and transcendent.
