Each morning before dawn, Mieke walked through Josaphat Park and began painting what remained when those structures disappeared: trees, light, silence, and the sensation of being temporarily released from a system that constantly demands motion. Starting from observation, she gradually layered geometric forms onto the landscapes. The paintings evolved into a dialogue between nature and constructed systems, between lived experience and the frameworks through which we organize the world.
