An Ocean in Between the Waves - Gert Motmans

11 unique books 

Each book is a unique, handmade piece. 

The covers are created from test print sheets 

used during the production of the original book, 

giving each one a distinct character. 

The pages are carefully but randomly assembled by the artist, 

ensuring that no two books are the same. 

Each edition has its own layout, with a different selection 

of images from the original book, 

arranged in an order that will never be repeated.

The Dance of Nature

Nature moves—always, without hurry, without pause. Her rhythm echoes within us, in every breath, in every heartbeat. Days unfold, light shifts, shadows stretch and retreat. What once was fades. What disappears returns in another form.

At a glance, everything seems the same—the same trees, the same water, the same sky. But those who take the time to truly look will see that nothing ever stands still. A leaf turns slightly toward the light, the wind carves a new ripple into the water, shadows drift with the hours like whispered memories.

Light and shadow weave the fabric of our recollections. A sunbeam dancing on the waves, the weight of an evening shadow—these moments anchor us in time. We recognize places not just with our eyes, but through scent, sound, and touch. A breeze can summon a long-lost summer, a slant of light can unlock a forgotten room in the mind.

To slow down is to witness the world endlessly recreating itself. To see the familiar being born anew. To understand that change does not break, but connects.
