Sourcing vernacular images of everyday indoor plants, van Beek subverts their banal, decorative function by physically intervening in the photographic record. Through meticulous folding, cutting, and overpainting, she transforms these familiar botanical subjects into strange, animated entities. This project illustrates her ongoing conceptual drive to liberate found imagery from its original, static context, treating the historical document as a malleable raw material capable of generating new, surreal taxonomies.
