Onderwater Asemhaal (Breathing underwater)

Visual Arts

Onderwater Asemhaal (“Breathing Underwater”) by Seun op Aarde This series is a meditation on survival beneath the surface. Each piece is a micro-macro reflection: fragments of a submerged subconscious breathing silently amidst the noise of collective programming and inherited trauma. Constructed through digital collage and printed on fine art paper, the works echo the feeling of navigating invisible wars — personal and societal — while learning to breathe in unnatural conditions. Installed with miniature music boxes playing “We All Live in a Yellow Submarine,” each artwork hums softly, inviting the viewer to consider how deep the programming goes — and how playful healing can be. Onderwater Asemhaal is part protest, part prayer. A reminder that even in the depths, we remember how to inhale.

David being David

🦢 David being David — by Seun op Aarde In this playful and poetic reimagining, Michelangelo’s David trades his marble stillness for seaside confidence. Inked with swans — symbols of grace, duality, and queer transcendence — he sits like a lifeguard between timelines, wearing nothing but his briefs and identity: Seun op aarde. This work challenges classical ideals and embraces modern myth-making, inviting the viewer into a reality where art, vulnerability, and embodiment meet under the sun. A camp classic, a queer nod, a wink at seriousness — David being David is about unapologetic presence, the soft animal body, and the healing power of humour.

Unconditional series

Visual Arts

This sculptural work reimagines a playful Boston terrier as a timeless Delftware collectible. Cast in lustrous high-gloss porcelain, the piece captures a moment of joyful anticipation — the dog rising eagerly onto its hind legs, eyes locked on a bright tennis ball suspended mid-air. The traditional cobalt-blue floral motifs, hand-painted across its coat, ground the sculpture in centuries-old Dutch ceramic tradition while contrasting beautifully with its spirited, modern character. Balancing heritage and humor, Porcelain Play bridges the decorative and the dynamic — a celebration of movement frozen in time. The glossy surface, subtle crackle, and delicate brushwork elevate this from a mere figurine into a contemporary heirloom — equally at home in a fine art collection as in a modern interior.
