Meet Hanne Arends (28), an exceptional creative mind who graduated this year from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. Her unique background includes a Bachelor in Business Management and Administration (20217) and the Design Academy Eindhoven (2022). What sets Hanne apart is her ability to simultaneously pursue a degree in design and fine arts, a feat never before achieved at these prestigious institutions.

​

Hanne has many different projects wherefore her latest project: Freddy Marbic. Arends explains, "Freddy believes he is made of plastic, when in fact he is crafted from white Carrara marble. When I point this out to him, he simply ignores it. After several conversations, I realized that opinions are often taken as facts nowadays." Freddy Marbic calls for a critical examination of the world around us. Not everything you see is truth. Because when you conduct research and delve deeper, you may suddenly discover that it is marble.
