About the piece

Stitched C-print 75 x 88 cm (Private Collection)

Good Morning
by Berend Strik is part of the artist's broader body of work exploring intimacy, domesticity, and the everyday through his signature stitched photography technique.

Strik's work frequently mines the tension between the intimate — family photographs, domestic spaces — and the political or historical. Found photographs from family albums, combined with his own documentation, form the basis for an art that transforms the personal into something universally resonant.

The title evokes daily rituals — greetings exchanged, routines begun — that form the backdrop of human experience. Strik transforms these mundane moments through his textile interventions, making visible the layers of meaning that accumulate around even the most ordinary encounters.
