"The materials and forms act as familiar, but at the same time they surprise us and fill the spectator with wonder," said department head Hilde De Decker. "They are abstracted images, indicating and suggesting a mental space. The mirrors, tables, cupboards and chairs, as well as the jewellery, are apparent elements of reality, referring to another reality. One might compare the domestic traces and jewellery with the building blocks of a still life: objects that are carefully arranged as an artistic stage, shifting away from real life."
