Picture "The Secret Card" (2021)
The secret relationship between the nun and the letter carrier who comes to bring her a love letter. I could tell you a thousand things about this secret entrusted card, but no matter how big it is, it wouldn't be enough to write it all. And then it wouldn't be a secret! The carriage is an old Australian Post Office car (a souvenir of my trip to Australia) and the scene is the Beguinage in Bruges, Belgium. A world closed to the outside world, yet so open to the imagination, for it is the inner beauty of women that is played out under the eye of Fate. So many secrets in these monasteries of nuns, dreams, desires and fantasies unfulfilled, pains buried and well hidden. To the right, two other nuns are chattering: are they offended? Or are they secretly dreaming of love too, and jealous of it? On the left, my dog Laly Blue is also part of the journey. Could this be a self-portrait?
