and, who am I?

Of course, you can wonder if the text and this image display the person they are because there are tons of philosophers who would state not. Yet, here I am showing you this image and text.

What is mentioned above, is already an example of how my brain works. I am (re)thinking and researching the thoughts of others and those of my own. This almost* never-ending curiosity and eagerness to learn wants me to keep looking at the meaning of/and perspectives of the humans around me and use them as e.g. an inspirational source.

If I combine the way of what others say of me and how I look at myself, then I am a creative who loves to work from an 'autonomous starting point' and can work with a given question/issue of someone/something else, creating new questions/solutions/actions. Where there is a pile of (dusty) books with my nose in them and messy hands due to trying things out, which is being one of my methods.

*almost because, during creative processes with an upcoming end, choices need to be made.

Right now, being a student doing a RASL Dual Degree containing Transformation Design at the Willem de Kooning Academy and an International Bachelor of Arts and Culture Studies at Erasmus University, I have a nose for sociological and philosophical problems. Therefore, and therein, personal(ity) is of importance where listening from and acting with each other can create sustainable approaches regarding those questions/solutions/actions.

In conclusion, there is always work that needs to be done. This is the philosophy I am working with: working on ourselves and for others, working on the world, and working with/for humans and more-than-humans, working in different contexts, and different audiences and their different needs.


Thank you for reading and whatever the time of day might be, I wish you a good one.
