We all think inside boxes

“Mirna den Ouden, a student at the Art Academy and a participant in the ‘Young Talent’ program of the Maassluis Artists Foundation, created a beautiful object, not allowing herself to be limited by the box.”

The title of my work is : We all think inside boxes. Its a saying in dutch that describes how we like to place every person in a stereotypical box (skin color, nerds, elderly).

Is this artwork a statement to think outside our box and connect with other people? No, it is made to consider to what extent you think inside boxes and how that influences your life.

It’s inspired by a talk from ‘Universiteit van Nederland’. Unfortunately that lecture is in Dutch.
