microENVISION
I am Jennifer, a Dutch-Indonesian woman living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and the founder of microENVISION, specialized in capturing the beauty of the microworld.
From as far back as I can remember, I’ve loved nature. My curiosity extends beyond mere observation; I’ve always sought to learn from, interact with, and conserve nature—not just for future generations, but for nature itself.
This work creates a platform for people living with HIV to tell their stories, emphasizing lived experiences and individual histories rather than numbers and statisticsthat often dominate the discourse around HIV and infectious diseases in general.
The project transforms the microscope into a tool for examining social issues. It combines microscopic images of blood from donors living with HIV and mixes them with their personal stories and hypnotizing soundscapes. By constantly recombining these stories and images, an ever-changing, intertwining tapestry of lives affected by HIV is created.
You can see the exhibition Fluid Dialogues, along with three other winners of the Micropia Art & Design Award, from the 30th of September 2024 till the 17th of February 2025 at the Micropia Museum in Amsterdam. the Netherlands. A place where science, art and nature come together.

I provide a full range of services, from culturing microorganisms and creating and editing images to providing background information and presentations.
Depending on your financial means, we can discuss a fair price, as I want this work to be available to everyone.

Read interesting blogs about your microworld and discover all the amazing things it has to offer.
Our beautiful planet is home to millions of animal and plant species, thriving across a wide range of ecosystems. While we have discovered and studied many of them, countless others remain unknown and waiting to be found.
When it comes to microbes, the diversity is even more staggering. Scientists estimate that there are over 100 million species of microorganisms, yet we’ve only identified less than 1% of them. As a microbiologist, this excites me immensely—there are still so many fascinating microbes left to discover, each with their own unique qualities and capabilities.
Microbes like bacteria, fungi, and protists play a vital role in every ecosystem on Earth, including those within our own bodies. No ecosystem can truly function without them. We also use microbes for food production, scientific research, energy production, agriculture, biotechnology, personal care and much much more.
