Isabel Brems is a textile designer and scenographer. Recognizing textiles as a comforting material universally sought in times of distress, she uses nature inspired colours and various textures inviting to be touched. By recycling as many materials as possible, she finds a way to remain sustainably connected. During her graduation, for her master's degree in textile design at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent, she received the Daikin Sustainability Price and was nominated for the Future Proef Award 2025 after her studies. Isabel creates her own textile paradise, where a space unfolds in which touch is of utmost importance. In doing so, she challenges us to pause and, through the textiles, reconnect with ourselves and others. This is the common thread that also runs through her role in Burenhinder, a female collective that provides a platform for FINTA* artists in the art and broader event sector. There, she designs modular 'safe heavens' for partygoers, offering them a chance to zoom out, take a sensory breather, or simply have conversations with each others.

Roots are not decoration. They are what holds us, what binds us to meaning. In this space, they crawl across the floor like soft lines from some ancestral memory. Not to be seen but to be rested on. Between sound and light, another rhythm appears. A place without demand. No above, no beyond, only ground, only weight. Uprootedness has become the norm in language, in pace, in the body. Here we return, not to the past but to what was always essential: silence, closeness, something that holds us. This is not a break from the party but a parallel world, a soft structure where nothing is expected and everything is allowed to dissolve, not to escape but to land.
