Duck it!

'Duck it!' is a work made out of 104 ceramic bath ducks. By using methods of art, I take a look at identity, how it develops, what it consists of in a particular stage of life and how it changes over time. I am interested in the personal and the intimate as well as in the role of social relations and how they affect the development of identity. Life is a series of experiences, each of them being a subjective process involving myself and the world. The ducks are a collection of memories of my life experiences.
