When I watch the news and I see all these people on the run, these thousands and thousands of refugees seeking for a  safe place, makes me really sad. The only thing these people want is a good and safe life, which I think is a basic human right. But we are so afraid for letting them in and that they disturb our perfect lives. So the only thing these thousands and thousands of people can do is wait. Waiting to get back to living a life again. Can you imagine that you have to wait for maybe ten years until you can start living again? I can’t. I have know idea what really waiting is about; sure I wait for my train to arrive, in a restaurant for the dish I just ordered, or for a friend etc.  But waiting for a long time to continue my life, I have know idea what that feels like. I can only guess; it would make me feel quite desperate.

I am not a politician or an activist but I do want to tell people how I think about this, but in my own way, as an artist.
So I started to make paper cuts from these refugees, from the people you see on the news every day.
Because they are with so many it is hard to realize that they all are individuals with their own story to tell. So within my project I focus on the individual, I cut them out of paper. Usually I would print them on paper but now I like them just the way they are; hanging in front of my window; and you can see the world through them; seeing their hopes and dreams for the future.
