Tiptoe through a fleeting moment
Sietske Feenstra's (Putten, 1996) work is a way to hold time still, to truly experience its fleeting presence. She seeks to slow it's relentless march, to linger in the delicate spaces between moments. Sietske feels drawn to the moments that slip by unnoticed, the fragile beauty of a daydream, the vulnerability of a figure caught unaware. She describes her process as a careful, concentrated walk on thin ice, balancing the fear of disrupting the moment with the desire to fully immerse herself in it.
Through her work, she explores the timeless elements that connect us all: the shared rhythms of daily life, from childhood play to the rituals of rest. Children play. People eat. We wash ourselves. We walk places. Hands making gestures. Feet moving. It's in these everyday rhythm's that she finds a profound and unifying beauty, seeking the timeless threads that bind us all.
