since its inception in 2016 as a site-specific artwork for
Amsterdam’s Dutch District Water Board, the immersive installation has been
shown across the world in London, Toronto, Paris, Rotterdam, Dubai, and at the
United Nations headquarters in New York City,
in
a statement on the artist’s website, WATERLICHT is described as a “dream
landscape about the power and poetry of water… WATERLICHT creates a collective
experience to share the importance of water innovation.”

was recently named a visiting professor at Monterrey
University in Monterrey, Mexico for 2019,
