De ontwortelde identiteit van de Molukkers
A photobook representing the Moluccan experience from the last 70 years in the Netherlands, collected by the National Archive in the Hague. However, these archival material was only showing one perspective of these occurrences. As a designer, I acknowledged the responsibility to also show the other narrative of the story by collecting photos from the Moluccan islands which are shown on the pages in-between the archive.

With a focus on the 3rd and 4th generation of the Moluccan diaspora, this identity is rather defined as a movement that organises non - violent protests where images and slogans are being presented. The versatile bandana scarf carries a depiction of the Maluku Islands that conveys the proud and dignity they have for their origins.
Observation of the Moment
Working with exposure, time, with a variety of substances on light sensitive paper, resulted in a series of chemigram prints. Capturing the fast changing moments between movement and expression of substances. It marks the transition from liquid into print. Without knowing beforehand what will come out, the nature of the substances will finds its way to express itself in forms and patterns, that look unexpected and instinctive.

Alternating Roads (Part 1)
The decision of making a mural comes from the challenge of being in the present moment. Being constantly on the move makes it very complicated to focus on the actual task you’re doing. Finding the contrasts between the structured way of moving and the spontaneous yet intuitive way of applying the strokes was the main component that connected everything together. The vertical strokes that surrounds the leading strokes represents this repetitive and systematic approach in which we’re trying to break out from in our daily life. The method of removing and repainting it is also connected to the process of going back and forth with traveling. This mural is created in the public space of TAC in Eindhoven.
Alternating Roads (Part 2)
The ongoing journey of traveling back and forth plays a important role in my lifestyle. By deconstructing several routes, new fragments are created that lead to other sequences and patterns that resulted in knitted landscapes. At the same time the colours play an important role which are indicating the timezone and movement of this daily routine. Through the several textures such as the rough jute reveals a strong connection I have with this way of continuous shifting. As well as the front and back are even important – the backside shows the more intimate and fragile side. This project was exhibited during the KABK group exhibition at Het Hem in Zaandam.
is a Dutch–Chinese artist and designer whose motivations are deeply rooted in her cultural background. Having grown up immersed in two contrasting cultures, the East and the West, she draws inspiration from these experiences to push the boundaries within her chosen field. Jannie's work is driven by a desire to foster positive developments and create awareness, with a particular focus on the cultural domain. She finds her values and strengths in employing an analog approach within her projects, as it complements her preferred method of expressing herself through printed matters.
