em_body_ment

Since a long time I've been fascinated with the human body, 
body language and body physique. 

It’s intriguing how one of my sisters who suffers from anorexia is changing, 
not only emotionally but also physically. 
Her body becomes different. 

In my masterproject I literally try to display these changes; 
distorted mirrors and cut up garments show how the 'recognizable' 
is replaced by the ‘unfamiliar',before the deviation, before the disease. 

In this way my work becomes a process; by doing, 
I think about what is happening to her. 

I find it difficult to see her body changing into something fragile. 
My feelings really show in my work: my body shows depression, despair, helplessness,...

I have a very close relationship with both my sisters, 
it is literally a matter of great weight when something is wrong with one of them.
