Inspiration

Suddenly finding myself confronted with health problems and drastic changes in my physical capabilities led to new questions and thinking about the body in relation to identity, physicality and how the body relates to motherhood, friendship and social position. Initially I picturaly focused on a toe, expanded to the leg, after which it was placed in an environment and given more context. In facing all those changes, how to welcome the new and ask how and what to let go of the old: “What to sacrifice” arises. My world in which my thinking and my visual work gradually expanded into “who am I”, also related to my family history and ” how to get a sense of beloning”.
