‘You can “read” the work in various ways. From afar it resembles a bird, but from close up the text becomes visible. It encourages people to move closer.’
Een baobab steekt zijn wortels in de lucht
en klauwt naar een toerako in vrije vlucht.
(A baobab sticks its roots up in the air, clawing at a turaco in free flight)
