jarrod van der ryken works with photography, video, and sculpture, creating installations that immerse viewers in layered environments. his work probes themes of identity and representation, juxtaposing the realities of solitary artistic endeavor with the socially interconnected landscape. within this framework, van der ryken navigates the tensions between permanence and ephemerality, tradition and innovation, drawing from personal experiences to prompt reflection on broader societal constructs. embracing the complexities of lived experience, his practice challenges viewers to confront their own preconceptions while contemplating the interplay of personal history and cultural context within contemporary art discourse.
