Work Overview

In Hindu and Buddhist mythology, Apsaras are female spirits of nature. Sometimes they are water nymphs and in my title I have imagined them as foam from the sea waves flying upwards. They are fitting symbols of the exuberance and changing variety of nature: now you see them, now you don't....

The title also pays tribute to the ensemble which commissioned the piece: APSARA. They gave its first performance in Bruges, 2003.
