Isabelle Dubois / Studio Onkruid

Naturalia, when nature takes over.
My sources of inspiration are mainly elements from nature, combined with human interference. These can be abandoned buildings, relics from a distant past, but equally electricity poles and rubbish.
The focus is also on ‘Onkruid’. Onkruid is a Dutch word for weeds.
Onkruid/ weeds is a judgement and exists only in our minds. In reality, what we call weeds are ordinary plants, just like any other. In our lives, we constantly judge the outside world, events and people around us. We classify them, consciously and unconsciously, into “right and wrong”. Weeds fall under the category of wrong plant, are undervalued and disrespected.
By highlighting weeds, I want to tell the stories behind the plant but also behind the human in itself.
Because Onkruid do not exist and weeds are flowers too.
