'Nehalennia': Maayke is the daughter of a surfer, she spent her childhood between Wassenaar and Scheveningen with her feet in the North Sea and with sand in her hair. The..."Nehalennia": Maayke is the daughter of a surfer, she spent her childhood between Wassenaar and Scheveningen with her feet in the North Sea and with sand in her hair. The deaths of the 5 surfers in Scheveningen should therefore not be missed in this BOX2020. “The sometimes unbearable beauty and grandeur of the sea takes lives every year. Nehalennia, the goddess of the North Sea turned out to have a different path for these 5 young men and are forever part of her underwater world ”
Dressed Up - Stripped Down: The Corona year has ushered in a new crisis. No one knows how this will unfold, but many people experience a loss of income and are more uncertain about their future. Even people who keep their income cannot (temporarily) spend this on the luxuries they were used to, such as going to the theater, going out for dinner and holiday trips. In this work, Maayke combines the uncertain stock market prices with the loss of a certain prosperity that was considered "normal" to many.
"I Give you my Heart": The new Dutch donor law may have received less attention due to the Corona year than would be usual in a "normal year". Yet it is special that in the Netherlands people make their organs available to society in advance, if they do not explicitly indicate that they do not want to. An event that Maayke thinks is important enough to be included in this collection box of 2020.
"Georg Floyd": The terrible death of Georg Floyd has not only led to a lot of protest in America, but also in Europe and the Netherlands. The "Black Lives Matter" theme is close to Maayke's heart and she has also made other works of art that refer to this last year, such as; "Black is Beautiful".1of 34
