he Berkendael project is the result of research I have been carrying out with the women inmates of
the Forest prison since 2015. Every week, for the past seven years, I have spent two hours with these
women prisoners and, during a creative workshop, they share their daily lives, their frustrations and
their desires. It is these testimonies that I try to transpose into my artistic practice.
The silk painting "Just Like You" is the result of a projection exercise proposed to the inmates in
which they were asked to find or produce images of landscapes they would like to see through their
cell window. It is from these images that I created the series Just Like You, the size of which
corresponds to the measurements of their cell window.
