ABOUT SOMS (SOMETIMES)

Somewhere between our longing for understanding and the urge to compare everything, we sometimes forget that life cannot be captured in clear lines. Everyone lives in their own 'reality' – their own bubble. 

‘Soms’ means sometimes and 'Soms' celebrates all those different bubbles. Because sometimes you know, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you understand what you're doing, sometimes you think you know what you're doing, and sometimes you're just glad you're doing anything at all. 

'Soms' shows the evolution of 'De Vieze Mannetjes' (Kavelaars' first series from the period of 2010-2013). In 2020, the series gained its first new dimension by combining the same dripping technique as with The Dirty Little Men with a color palette developed in Shanghai. In 2024, the series gets a new boost. 

'Soms' reminds you that life consists of countless choices. 'Soms' wants you to celebrate and embrace the unpredictability of life. 'Soms' is the personification of your bubble. 

'Sometimes' is active in the Netherlands, China, and Taiwan.
