Antwerpen Symbiose
This work presents Antwerp as a living microbiotope, where diverse forms of life continuously adapt and coexist. Using insects as metaphors, it reflects the social and cultural dynamics that shape the city. Each insect embodies a specific aspect of urban life, from labor and movement to care, exchange, and memory. Inspired by different neighborhoods, the composition creates a visual language that connects organic systems with urban structures. Through this perspective, the work reveals the hidden networks that sustain the city, inviting viewers to reconsider Antwerp as a shared ecosystem defined by both diversity and interdependence.
