The Project
The project emerged through a shared process of walking, observation, dialogue, and research. Guided by the long-term work of archaeologist Harold J. Kelly and developed in collaboration with the National Archaeological Museum Aruba (MANA), it brings together archaeological knowledge, artistic practice, and public engagement.
SITE
Presence
Walking to the places
Walking to the physical sites throughout Aruba where Indigenous rock drawings are found.
Experiencing the landscape through heat, wind, silence, and distance.
Standing where others once stood.
SITEWALK
SIGHTWALK
SIDEWALK
SIDE
Sharing
Walking alongside
Walking with archaeologist Harold Kelly.
Learning through conversation, collaboration, and shared experience.
SIDE is also the slower path beside the main road — a place for observation, reflection, and exchange.
SIGHT
Inner Seeing
Seeing differently
What do we see?
What remains hidden?
SIGHT explores what emerges through stillness, reflection, and attention.
Glass becomes a medium through which light, memory, and insight take shape.
Inspired by Aruba’s Indigenous rock drawings, the project explores how traces from the past continue to resonate in the present.
Its aim is to strengthen awareness, understanding, and care for this fragile cultural heritage by creating new ways of engaging with the drawings and the landscapes in which they exist.
The journey unfolds through three interconnected perspectives: SITE, SIDE, and SIGHT.
A shared journey
