EADY VAN ACKER – NIGHTFALL HYMN

Eady van Acker’s Nightfall Hymn (2023) presents floor works that resemble desolate, alien landscapes—lifeless, uncanny, and eerily beautiful. Drawing inspiration from nature, such as Iceland’s black volcanic beaches, her work reflects on the natural cycle of life and death. Skeletal forms and fragmented objects reveal a fascination with decay, suggesting the melancholic beauty of decomposition and reintegration into the earth. At the same time, the pieces evoke the raw, primal forces of nature, blending serenity with an underlying sense of awe and power.
