In Oerbergen, Vivian Ammerlaan shapes forms that point to a primal core — to something that exists before meaning itself.

Creating these collages became, for her, an exercise in slowness and attention, a way of looking without purpose and thinking through her hands. The series began in 2023, with the focus on mountain peaks emerging only in the final phase of the process, when the images seemed to arrange themselves, as if remembering where they came from.
