As some of you know, untill a few years ago, I used to study physical geography and I dropped out during my final thesis research. I was specialising in landscape ecology. My final thesis was about the influence of former landuse on sandsoils on forest development of reforested sites. Quercus robur was used for these reforestations. I had taken soil samples, at various depths (including litter and defragmentation samples), my sites were all of a different age. And it seemed fun to see if there was a difference in soil organism composition as well. In all, quite an interesting research. But I lost all motivation and I probably made the best choice during my far too long a career as a perpetual student. I decided to quit.

That, like I said was a few years ago. I've worked as a (junior) projectionist for a few years, at Pathé Arena, and I now try to work my way up in ICT. But my fascination for nature, and those wonderful relationships remain. Plants are wonderful. They can be a source of nutrients, a home, an obstacle in every day life, a hunting ground, an indicator of what's going on below the surface and they can even be aesthetically pleasing. What I'm showing, or attempting to show at least, with the Yummy Bar series, is the fascination I have for (parts of) these relationships. Nature is a terrific source of inspiration.
