When pursuing her bachelor’s degree in fine art at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam (NL), Jonker specialised in the themes of public and private space. Her artwork after graduation was primarily concerned with public space, public rituals, and social issues. When she began her master’s studies in Chiang Mai (TH), Jonker shifted her focus from public to private experiences, rituals, and spaces, while not neglecting the importance of understanding how public elements relate to private ones. Her personal experiences in the Dutch squatting subculture have given her a unique insight into the nature of public and private space, and have been a significant part of her research.
