With a playful nod to nostalgia and iconic images, the “Candy” series has been brought to life. Using creative and unexpected materials, it tells a visual story that on the surface looks light and familiar, but invites the viewer to pause and consider the power of simple elements in art. ‘Candy’ explores how everyday objects and cherished memories can transform into expressive images.

“Red Candy” is a series created with vibrant red candy laces in collaboration with TOP makeup artist Wendy Van De Cruys, brings a playful nod to childhood memories. The colorful candy decorations make a visual statement, an explosion of color and texture that immediately evokes a sense of recognition.
