FLAGS OF BELONGING
For the project Flags of Belonging, I explored the framed football shirt as a textile document and carrier of memory, identity, and collective pride. While traditionally referencing the player, I focused on the supporter, the community united by love for the club and its players.
Through research into fan cultures, I examined how symbols, colors, and patterns convey connection and belonging. Fandom is never solitary; recognition by others transforms personal passion into shared experience. The supporter’s flag becomes a visual extension of this identity, amplifying presence, allegiance, and collective energy.
In this series, I created five red-and-white flags inspired by the most popular Dutch football clubs, each with a unique pattern of the same colors. Immobilized behind glass, photographed, and printed in large format, the flags allow recognition and intimacy for the informed viewer, while abstraction highlights shared rhythms and forms for others.
