Saskia Johanna de Vries (1996) is a dancer, poet, and visual artist. She explores the connection between the body, psyche, and nature—inviting a space for reflection and collective healing. 

"My work is an extension of my own inner process, within a wider social and ecological context. Working interdisciplinarily, I explore how personal experience is shaped by the collective unconsciousness, stories, and the systems we live in. 

Rather than illustrating fixed ideas, my practice follows what is alive in me at a given moment. The work becomes a way of listening — to the body, to memory, to inherited patterns, and to questions that resist easy answers. By giving form to what I am living through, I seek not only personal clarity, but also moments of recognition that can allow collective healing. 

I am particularly interested in how trauma and resilience are carried across generations and landscapes, and how art can function as a site of care, resistance, and transformation. 

By working in the porous space between disciplines, I invite presence. My work does not aim to offer solutions, but to hold space for complexity in all its forms."
