After years of wandering from one place to another, Sam asked himself: "What have I been looking for all this time?" He remembered a friend once asked him, "Are you really searching, or are you running away?" He answered: : "I am indeed looking, and for what exactly? For life!"

Looking for Life is a photo exhibition that tells the story of a modern nomad who has wandered in recent years, from one place to another, capturing moments of life in all these places. The exhibition offers viewers a visual odyssey through his lens and a glimpse into the diversity found in ordinary and extraordinary moments of contemporary existence.
Through his lens he challenges ideas of home and belonging, emphasising the shared human experience that unites us in our search for meaning. Prepare for a visual adventure that captures the vitality of life, seen through the eyes of a wanderer in search of moments that matter.

Tjitske Storm

Back in 2020 Tjitske created her first self-initiated works The Seasons (Spring Field -Summer Garden -Autumn Forest). She just left Holland for an undefined period, going on a one-way ticket to South Africa. The place where she experienced lots of natural beauty and inspiration. Unfortunately 4 weeks later Covid forced her to leave her beloved Cape Town. She went back to her roots: her sweet parents in Fryslân, where she stayed during Covid. Living remotely felt like a Winter Sleep but it was a very constructive period in her life. And in 2022 she created African Summer - later named Sunbirds & Tropical Flowers 2.0.

She created three other tapestries inspired by symbiosis (Sunbirds & Tropical Flowers 1.0 -Zebra & Ostrich -Chameleon & Lichen) and presented The Art of Living Together during Dutch Design Week '22, at Kazerne and Isola Design Gallery. Two exhibitions followed in 2023; at Object Rotterdam and at Rossana Orlandi during Milan Design Week.

This exhibition is also organised to help Tjitske with her crowdfunding project The World Needs More Flowers & Birds
