My name is Jade Kievits (2001), I am a photographer, philosopher and researcher based in The Hague. With the medium of photography I investigate questions regarding the natural world that surrounds us and the abstract concepts that exist within.

My practice relies on black & white images and research, allowing me to understand and present my projects in a wider context. While the research emerges from scientific principles is it deeply connected to my own curiosity of the intangible mysteries.

Besides the research, lies an intention to bring back the tangibility of the matter present in my work often through publications, creating a physical connection between the audience and the abstract concepts. With my projects, I aim to questions the established perspectives and invite the viewer to openly wonder
