A personal project by Dutch collage artist Nicola Kloosterman, using vintage ikebana arrangements which focus on the importance of silence, space, form, humanity, aesthetics, and balance. Kloosterman destroys and re-assembles these delicate arrangements to create a new image that strikes a balance between expectation and reality. See more images from “Shadowplay” below.
