Brass Relic (2022)
'Brass Relic' is the result of research at
MOB-complex, Tilburg. By combining its history
as a military storage base where nature
took over the area, Annelieke Rovers has
created an abstract footprint of the site.
Using brass, like once was used to make
the bullets that where stored here.
This mobile sculpture balances details
and shapes of the surroundings and
preserves parts of MOB-complex now its
future is uncertain.

Floating Waters (2021)
Floating Waters interprets the stories inspired by ‘De Zuiderwaterlinie’. A portrayal of the relationship between man and water in the past, present and future.
We, especially in the Netherlands, are unconditionally connected to water. Besides the eternal struggle with the rising sea level, we have used water in the past to defend our country. By deliberately flooding an area (inundation), we stopped the enemy. Today, our struggle with water has taken a new turn. Where we used to have too much water, we are now facing a water shortage due to climate change. In the future we will therefore have to live more in harmony with the water around us.
The stories of water are translated into different water surfaces, which are realized in glass. The glass works can be seen as an ode to water and what it has meant to us and will mean in the future.

Natural Separation — Melodic sound 1 (2020)
We are all part of nature. Some people are more connected to nature than others, but everyone on earth is part of one large ecosystem. However, in our current society a separation can be felt between ourselves and nature. The installation ‘Natural Separation’ should be an impetus to narrow this gap.
The installation makes sound to the rhythm of nature, the wind. And she is calling to us. You can hear the special harmonic sounds at different locations within nature.
