Dâkhoas

This illustration was created as part of the Tegel voor de Dom project, a tribute to Utrecht’s landmark: the Dom Tower. Nothing better than a lazy sunny afternoon in your own city, admiring the Dom, right? Dâkhoas is a typical Utrecht dialect word that translates to “rooftop hare”, meaning a cat.

For this project, Stichting Utrechts Eigendom invited thirty local artists to create their own personal tribute to the Dom Tower. The result was a diverse series of ceramic tiles, each reflecting a different story and perspective. The tiles were presented in the Domkerk in 2024, celebrating the completion of the tower’s restoration.

Subsequently, the collection was exhibited at Kunstliefde. From the series, five favorite designs were selected for the Utrecht Winkel on Domplein, including my Dâkhoas. A small version of this tile is currently available for purchase there.
