	15 days ago Ah, but the moonites look harmless, a little goofy maybe, but harmless. Another interesting 3D shadow box piece. Hope you are doing great. :) - Charles
	26 days ago It's probably just camouflage for that hair-lip of his. Or maybe he doesn't have a mouth at all? Rather a penetrating look he's giving us, Erik. Now if he only had a pipe sticking out of the brush. Very well done! Hope you are doing great. :) - Charles

	07 Sep 2025 Free Palestine! Unheard Artist Statement – Woordelaas In Unheard, you meet a child — or rather, the image of a child. It looks at you with a quiet directness that disarms and confronts. Wide eyes, innocent features, and yet something lives beneath the surface: a weight that has no name. The gaze is not just a question, but a quiet protest. Who is truly looking back? The face is smooth, almost porcelain-like, nearly timeless. There is no hair, no ornament, nothing to distract. Just pure human presence, unshielded. The background, unmistakably the colors of the Palestinian flag, places this portrait in the heart of a geopolitical tension. The keffiyeh pattern — traditional, weighted — speaks of identity, resistance, and solidarity. The title Unheard refers not only to the inability to speak or be listened to. It is also a silent scream. A protest against the noise of the world stage, where the voices of children, of civilians, of ordinary people are drowned out by ideology, power, and violence. At the same time, the word “unheard” echoes with awe: something striking, overwhelming — unheard beauty, unheard pain, unheard truth. The face is split between light and shadow — a symbolism that remains open. Is it the division of the world? Of the individual? Or of our gaze, which only wants to see half? With this work, I want to bring the viewer to a standstill. Not through spectacle, but through eyes that refuse to let you go. It is not a pamphlet, not an illustration, but an image of humanity housed in a political body. A portrait of the silence that speaks. — Woordelaas - Ah
