LUCID DREAM NO.1 FLORA

The series starts with a tapestry depicting Flora. It is a penetrating photo in which the essence of Flora is recorded. Her bright blue eyes and tamed red tresses jump out at you from the wall hanging. Her pale skin with freckles makes her beautiful eyes stand out even more. You see a teenager with a wise and piercing gaze. It is not a photograph, but a tapestry woven with great care at the Textile Museum in Tilburg, where a colour palette has been chosen that does even more justice to Flora’s piercing gaze. Because the work consists of fabric, the distance between Flora and the viewer is almost eliminated. Flora’s image has become tactile and touchable. But above all, this work is about how the father sees his daughter. That gaze is primarily meant for him. She speaks to her father with those eyes. It is therefore at the same time a very intimate work and, particularly because of the open gaze, a classic and universal portrait.
