Artist own words
This project started with an invitation from Castle D Ursel in Belgium to make interpretations with the fabrics of the castle walls. As the original canvases were deteriorated, they sent them to print again and in the process, I interpreted two of them. We did all the work there, where I went with my crew. The work is called The Dream in reference to a wonderful surprise that they found when they restructured the wooden panels (covered with old fabric) and it was the discovery of some letters written by the 8-year-old princess entitled "Letters to the future" in which described the garden, his dog, his sister, and his daily life. In one of them, she said: I dream that one day a girl will read this. That's why my interpretation is as if the character is coming out of the flowers.
