By exploring the past, Jongmans creates exquisitely contemporary compositions, prompting us to consider the meaning of value and how it is assigned. The works are also sensitive, introspective meditations on human feeling, and she has even occasionally turned the camera on herself. “In the midst of it all,” inkjet print on Hahnemühle paper, 44 x 60 centimeters“Kindred Spirits – Present,” inkjet print on Hahnemühle paper, edition of 8 + 2 AP, 75 x 95 centimeters“Lifting the Veils,” inkjet print on Hahnemühle paper, edition of 8 + 2 A.P., 75 x 68 centimeters“Guidance” (2024), inkjet print on Hahnemühle paper, edition of 10 + 2 A.P., 95 x 75 centimeters“Brotherhood,” inkjet print on Hahnemühle paper, edition of 8 + 2 A.P., 87 x 87 centimeters“Valentino blue,” inkjet print on Hahnemühle paper
