Interdisciplinary. Community. Advocacy. Humor.
I like to create surprise in the “spectator’s” eyes while approaching strong and bearing themes.
What a better way to succeed than using humor and dolls?
The “Resurrection” collection is the result of this philosophy; my own little touch of Belgian surrealism, at the image of painter Magritte. An ear wearing ears, an eye worn by a finger, a leg and an arm becoming a necklace, a sleeping face as a bracelet, a sound box alternately crying, laughing, calling ‘dad’ and ‘mum’, two hands inviting you to play with a ball...
The approached themes in this collection are clearly the game, the second degree but also topical subjects like recycling by giving a second life to ancient dolls. I tried in my own way to restore the prestige of those used, damaged and abandoned toys which are quickly forgotten in our present consumer society. That’s how the adventure of those recycled, interactive jewels started. They aim at rethinking our own body and the way we perceive it. The game symbolizes childhood and its memories but also open-mindedness.
