Fleur van Heezik

In my graduation work I take you with me on a journey back to my childhood dollhouse, in which a cocoon of absurdism, nostalgia, and manic madness unfolds into a short film and a collection that is inspired by my childhood doll and escape room research.

 

Like an introspective magnifying glass, I magnify the issue of being too small to fit in with my family and I try to transform this feeling into the growth I need to be seen. I use this setting to rewrite narratives from the past and to explore the position that I have within my own family and in life. In this way i can finaly take the control about my own story and the way i want to be received. It’s a form of therapy to dissect the core of the family structures beneath the layers of the Jordanese humor and to reshape these according to my own vision and needs.
