The Eye
2022The eye can be compared to a camera. The incoming light is projected onto the retina, via the transparent cornea, pupil and eye lens. On the retina there are nerve cells that direct the light stimuli to the optic nerve. From there, all stimuli together are passed to the brain that composes an image of it. Not all animals perceive the world in the same colors. Some animals are able to perceive ultraviolet light, others lack the cells for certain colors. Some snake species can detect infrared radiation by heat-sensitive receptors in the skin of the head (Boa) or a groove under the nostril (Pit Viper). These receptors are comparable to the ones with which we humans perceive warmth. We don’t call them eyes, although there is probably a form of visualization, as snakes use them to find warm-blooded prey and are able to determine both distance and direction. So is what we think we see, the 'reality'?

Driver
2020A driver is someone driving a vehicle. A road-user who is not a pedestrian: such as a cyclist, moped-rider, motorist, motor-cyclist or horseman. Another description is: a road-user with a motorized vehicle. In this case, the driver apparently does not feel like a driver, although he uses hands and feet to create that impression. But this is not an actual road-user…..

Nuri 23-11-2015
2016The first name Nuri means in Arabic and Hebrew: the light of God's fire, the bright one, the radiant one, someone cheerful and in good humour. Nuri is also the name of a village in a bend of the Nile River, in present-day Sudan. Here lie 15 pyramids, once built for Nubian Kings. The pyramids of Nuri are generally smaller than the Egyptian ones and are today often in ruins. All these remains belonged to the ancient city of Napata, the first capital of the Nubian Kingdom of Kush. The earliest pyramid was for King Taharga. His direct successor Tantamani was buried in El-Kurru, but all the succeeding Nubian Kings and many of their wives, up to Nastasen (+ 330 BC), were buried here. Nuri is also the name given to a super-storm with a record in low pressure, that raged over the Bering Sea in early November 2014, which led to an extreme cold-wave in the United States. But above all it’s the name of Yolanda’s first grandchild and as you can see on this work, it’s a beautiful grandson!
