De Galerij van De Lawei in Drachten presents from 19/5 until 24/5 2008 

The choice of Paulien Ploeger  

From womb to tomb – refuges and habitats by Sofia Beça (Porto)

Sofia Beça tries to capture nature's true essence by reshaping these habitats. Refuges and habitats, form the centre of the current exhibition. Her floor and wall installations in De Galerij in Drachten will be complemented with images by Rui Costa offering a microscopic view of the habitats, and with imaginary sounds of sound designer Gustavo Costa.                    Starting from her cultural background, she has crystallized these themes in her own personal way, by making extensive use of wall installations and different tones of red, reminiscent of both Africa and the color of the Spanish and Portuguese soil.
