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 make 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.
