I Made These Soap Sculptures As A Part Of An Ongoing Investigation Into Visualising Memories (Part 1)
Crumpling Memories is the working title of a series of paintings/drawings/performances and sculptures.
As a little kid I had a lot of skin problems. Most of them from allergies of all sorts. My mother had to bath me many times a day to take care of the open wounds and to try to make the itching less. As a little toddler then, I still remember the smell of those soaps, and the hands taking care of me.
Now, many years later I wanted to visualize those moments with these sculptures. They only consist of soap, “Sunlight” soap mostly.

‘Touch me’ is an investigation on how people will handle my work.
I placed a soap sculpture in a bathroom of an artistic communal space in my neighborhood.
Every other day I took a picture of the decaying/used soap hand
Many people used it.
It was interesting to see how people would handle it.
I suspected broken fingers from day 1, but people used it carefully, gentle even.
Most told me it felt intimate in a bizarre way to use the soap.
Holding another hand while washing their hands felt strange…
Every little piece, even the broken fingers where used.
At the end there was nothing left.
