Where Journeys Grow - Monique de Kruijk

Currently on display at the CCH exhibition (In the shop window at D-Reizen in Oudenbosch)

Description: 

Where journeys grow is a wall sculpture about growth, change, and the path each person takes.

The rough tree bark forms the base of the work. It refers to nature, to origins, and to the traces that a life leaves along the way. The different layers and structures almost feel like a landscape where every experience has its own place.

The colorful moss seems to grow through and over the memories. The colors represent the various phases, emotions, and encounters that become part of a personal journey. Sometimes visible and strong, sometimes hidden among the rough textures.

We carry our journey with us. Everything we experience shapes us, changes us, and eventually gives us a new direction.

Every journey leaves a trace.
Every experience becomes a layer.
And somewhere along the way, we grow.
