Thesis / Research Document of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, 2025 BA Fine Arts "You are leaking" tells the story of Iris, an artist caught in a surreal, psychological descent inside a shifting, oppressive studio space. The sterile white room, described as "ravenous" and alive, becomes a character: it breathes, warps, and seeps with liquid. As time fractures and the line between self and environment dissolves, Iris is consumed by disorientation. The story reflects my longing to shed individualism like a skin, to melt into something vast and nameless. The longing to escape the boundaries of self, the ecstasy and terror of permeability, and the cyclical failure of transformation. My work dwells in that unstable space, where “I” frays into “we,” where memories forget their owners and bodies forget their borders.
