Couzijn is a creative all-rounder - musically skilled with a very strong eye for visual aesthetics who focuses on authenticity, existentialism and the way external influences (in particular digital influences such as social media) shape us.
Beautiful Impact is about flirting with rescue without having the intention of being saved. About accepting that the light at the end of the tunnel is the headlight of a car approaching you from the opposite direction. About being damaged in the most beautiful way. Couzijn's recent works have been examining his narcissistic desire to suffer. In the next stage in this process, he shows the aftermath of a beautiful, unexpected impact.
