Diep GeworteldManicupality of Oost Gelre06-2024Project “13 Letters” is an initiative of the manicupality of Oost Gelre.  "A landmark in a prominent location along the N18. Each letter has its own local sponsor and artist.

Together with Dirk Wopereis we created the concept for our own letter. With lunchroom Het Blok as our sponsor we created our vision of the letter ‘H’. The following 5 years this work will change and grow as the roots will fill the letter ‘H’.

"The letter H is filled with soil, from which plants sprout. As these plants grow, their roots will intertwine and fill the letter with a ‘network’ of roots. This artwork symbolizes the invisible bonds that connect the community of Lichtenvoorde. Just as the roots of the plants intertwine deep beneath the surface, the residents of Lichtenvoorde are also connected through clubs and organizations. It is a metaphor for the power of community spirit and the invisible threads that bind us all together.

'At Het Blok, we provide meaningful work for people with a distance to the labor market, driven by a social mission. Working with a mission and creating a positive impact on society—that's what it's all about!'
Het Blok – lunchroom and catering"
