Loosening the Braid, 65x100cm, digital photography, 2022

The starting point for this work is the fairy tale of Rapunzel. According to the interpretations of the fairy tale, the braiding of the 3 strands into a plait refers to the countless generations of women or mothers - daughter/mother/grandmother relationship. Here I think of the heritage of paradigms that is preserved and unconsciously passed on from generation to generation. A heritage that I can accept, reject or transform.
