I dind't do enough
I dind't do enough
myself
Why do we as humans doubt about ourselves ? why is it never good enough ? As I maker I often hear this voice when something is finished and when other people can critique my creation. On these collection of trophies I express my own insecurities.

I'm not so sure about this.

This project is literally a personal message from me for everyone who can relate to it. It’s a subject were I often struggle with in my daily life. Because tableau has raised the topic of metal health. I gave myself more time to listen , look and feel more about my own metal health. I started to lissening to this little voice i have in my head. And literally wrote down what this little voice has to say. I'm sure several people have experienced this little voice, its a little demon that tells you you're not good enough. He can tell me perfectly what I’m not doing right, but he forgets to tell me when I’m actually doing something good. As a maker (designer) I often hear this voice when my project is about to be finished. Well now I already have expressed these feelings for myself on this project. Because of this project and showing it I feel I started to accept these feelings and starting to learn how to control them. This project it’s more about the meaning of the object then the materiality. I made a trophy with the letters I didn’t do enough on it. First I had written the words I didn’t do enough on a piece of paper. I thought thats a power and very clear statement.

About Studio Willem van Hooff

My main inspiration is the history of humanity. I’m fascinated how humanity has developed themselves and the contrast of how humanity used to create and now is creating. Within a 100 years the world has become changed into a insane overconsumption culture. Were in my idea humans miss the connection with the materiality. And miss the real connection with our objects. I love to look around me and wonder how stuff is created and why it is created!
