“Onze co-creatie, gesymboliseerd door ‘REVIVE’, (Nieuw leven inblazen) laat onze toewijding zien aan het omzetten van (duurzame) uitdagingen naar kansen. Tijdens het proces dacht ik er aan dat het “REVIVEN” van materialen en onszelf inzicht, moeite, en aanpassingsvermogen vergt. Om zo tot verandering te komen. De samenwerking met Viviana, wiens naam en energie vernieuwing uitstraalt, inspireerde mijn proces en denkwijze.” Eline Gommans.

Working with Viviana, whose name and spirit embodied renewal, inspired my process and me.” Eline Gommans.
