I am truly honoured that Studio La Gazelle has invited me to exhibit my art in Blox Amsterdam.
Blox Amsterdam is a vibrant, digital city, blending the charm of historic Amsterdam with the energy of the metaverse. One can stroll along glowing canals, explore iconic landmarks, and discover art, culture and stories at every turn. Designed for desktop, mobile and VR, it’s a place to connect, explore, and feel the heartbeat of the Netherlands reimagined for a new era.
In "Awakening in FLux", I explore the simultaneous presence of stillness and movement, two forces that shape our experience of a world in constant transformation. This exhibition reflects the urgent moment we inhabit: a time marked by rapid change, uncertainty, and the need for deep human adaptation.
Through my iPhone artworks set within a reimagined Amsterdam, I invite viewers to dwell in the tension between pause and flow. It is here, in this dynamic space between opposites, that true awakening unfolds.
The artworks are meditations on perception, connection, and transformation, urging us to slow down and attune, to embrace vulnerability and openness, and to recognize that change is not a threat, but a path toward renewal. By holding stillness and movement together, we can navigate the challenges of our time with presence, resilience, and hope.
With this exhibition I also wish to highlight techno-spirituality, a term that describes the integration of technology and spiritual practice. Digital tools, such as smartphones, apps, or online spaces, are used in ways that promote mindfulness, reflection, connection and inner growth.
Over time I have transformed the act of taking photos and editing these images on my iPhone into a conscious meditative process. I have learnt to treat my iPhone as an extension of my awareness - like a brush or a pen. My work invites viewers to slow down, reflect and see the sacred, that which is worthy of awe and respect, in the everyday.
“Awakening in Flux” takes place for the month of October in Blox Amsterdam. The opening and Artist Talk will be on 2 October 2025 at 4pm CET | 10am EST | 11pm JST.
Join us to discover and explore new insights into the changes we as humans are being called to embrace as we face an uncertain future in the light of all that is happening in the world at the moment.
Update: Studio La Gazelle published an excellent article about the event.

The Culture & Museums International Tech Forum is held annually in the city of Málaga in Spain to explore new technological and innovative solutions in the field of culture.
#CMMalaga23 - Shaping culture through tech - will be held at the Trade Fair and Congress Center of Málaga (Palacio de Ferias y Congresos de Málaga) on Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th June 2023. Included will be a symposium, technical conferences, workshops, talks and round tables. It will also include an exhibition zone featuring technology companies with innovative proposals that serve the sector.
I am very happy to share that I have been invited to collaborate with the company XR&C who will be exhibiting at the forum.
Rock&Change has designed an art gallery that will be presented to the public via virtual reality headsets.
Displayed in the gallery will be an exhibition of a collection of my iPhone artworks, titled “Etérea”.
“Etérea" is a presentation of iPhone artworks by Linda Hollier. Linda’s refined sensibility toward the energetic content that fills space allows her to capture the delicate transparency of the energy resonating from her subjects.
From the dance between the figures and the environment surrounding them, an ethereal atmosphere pours out from Linda’s works. They do not speak of material mass but of exquisite intangibility.
It is within the intangibility that her work evolves and matures. Entering the ethereal dimension offered by virtual reality has given space to the the continuation of her philosophical research ‘stillness in movement’.
