LANDS END
hours of scorched clay
feet to the end
dive into hiding
then whirl
take a breath
in melting sand
well
singing ice
breaks light

Does the environment survive humans
or does humans survive the environment
TRANSIT
While my feet
explore the landscape
the earth like a circus ball
my heel kicks away pressure
my toes allure time
now I float to land

Werkplaats RUIM builds an observatorium, a growing, breakable, poetic world, that pop's up at various sites.
It's an ambiguous world, you can look at it in many ways.
The observatorium came into being out of an interest of natural forms, organisms and systems.
How do we reach a healty organisation with space for human scale, personal freedom,
multiform, diversity and sustainability?
