The characters in the image are not angels and do not represent ‘western’ people. It is mererly their shape that speaks or refers to the language of renaissance iconographic painting. It is a metaphor for a new, contemporary authenticity. On a global scale cultures are getting increasingly intermingled, and instead of seeing this as a loss of authenticity, I experience it as a development that must lead to a redefinition of the meaning of ‘identity’. The identity of a country or a nation is not a static value but it is subject to influences that will result in an adapted perception of what this identity comprehends. This adapted perception rather seems to manifests itself at an individual or micro-social level. In my work linear worlds collapse with non-linear worlds creating quantum thoughts about our realities and their probabilities. Projecting past, present and future in the now as one image I project a parallel reality that we normally cannot see with the naked eye. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Opus-II/153909 Daan Noppen, Opus II at first sight can be read as a ‘renaissance’ representation of angels but when looked upon closer it is not.

This setting is a probable future projected in the now. The goddess represents the physical connection between the past and it's future. Whithin her she beholds a paradox of eternal and mortal life. Each of the 7 scenes is named after a specific phase of the moon, where the last scene is called new moon. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Clouds-we-are/153779 ‘In Clouds we are’ I presents a number of scenes portraying Selene, goddess of the moon in an post-apocalyptic setting.
