A Face - A Mirror, 2003
wooden box, 3 mirrors, digital prints, glass box, cloth, 24x34x10cm.
| In
this object-installation I analyse the relationship with my mother
since its beginning. What the baby first sees in the mother's
face is a reaction to itself; the face reflects the child back
to him/herself. What it sees, then, is affirmation or negation...
The face as a precursor to the mirror. I also present the instinctive urge for identification with my mother; physical and intellectual resemblance.

| Women
grow up and our energy is largely turned toward men, but the original
love relationship is with a mother. If we as daughters don't acknowledge
that, we're closing ourselves off from a great source of power and
fulfillment and understanding of ourselves.
