Luctor et emergo

This maquette is made for Zeeland to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the flood disaster. 

The installation will be adjusted to the Venetian islands.

the installation will be partly mobile(the seawaves), party labile (the islands since they are in endangered by the sea) and partly stabile (the Mose dam).

The Mose dam will be quite authentical since it is a huge peace of art on itself. 

When you stand in the artwork and you look up you wil see the waves moving slowly or aggressively. On the other side you will sea the Venetian islands moving very little. 

The question the observer will have is “Are we save now?” 

The water is constantly in move. So are the people to overcome natural disasters.
