This series comprises 4 concrete panels, each 3m x 1.75m. Using handmade ceramic, metal aggregates and self-healing concrete.

“Jacob van der Beugel has recreated the battlefield of life, death and struggle of the human cell in concrete and clay…” Koen Kleijn, De Groene Amsterdammer.

This series wrestles with the notion of atrophy in a material that is synonymous with permanence. It explores notions of change and mutation at a cellular microscopic level but also human change at a macro environmental level.
