CURRENT MISSION

Beauty in the absurd

ABOUT ME

Seasons change. I live in Belgium, now for a few years. Fate has a strange way of landing. I have my wooden caravan. I play the saxophone badly, with the shutters closed to confuse the neighbors. I create ceramic "things." I lovingly tend to growing plants and somehow still kill them within the month.

PHILOSOPHY

Curiouser an curiouser....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Gabon, in the forest, trying to be a brave scientist and not jump at every leaf fall, suddenly I hear a noise and find behind me a gorilla. Dark eyes, my heart beating like a hammer. Now it seems like a dream.

Teach, Learn, Share

My studies focussed on environmental conservation and management, Botanical taxonomy, and plant biodiversity. I find all aspects of the natural world fascinating, and am always eager to share and learn more about things around me.
