About the artwork

This digital artwork is a mosaic of memories, a visual symphony of a career dedicated to the world of finance and technology. It depicts an imaginary cabinet of curiosities, in which tangible memories float in a virtual space - hovering between pixels and past.
At the centre hangs the iconic clock of the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) in New York, a symbol of the constant ticking of time in a world that never stands still. Its bronze sheen reflects the pace of the markets and the hustle and bustle of Wall Street. To its right floats the buy-sell glass of Euronext Amsterdam - its transparent prism captures the light of passing price lines and reflects the countless decisions made in milliseconds.
On the other side shines a medal from the Sydney Stock Exchange, modest in size but rich in memory: an echo of night trading sessions and the international nature of financial connections.
On a virtual shelf rests a letter opener from the London office of MeesPierson, next to an ink cap from the same agency - symbols of traditional precision in an increasingly digital world. They form the bridge between the analogue and digital era in which this computer expert moved.
The work evokes the atmosphere of a busy but meaningful life: a digital relief of a career built from data, decisions and moments of reflection. Each object is an anchor point in time - a flash of memory, captured in code and image
