Sabbagh, Mustafa

Vanheule, Nathalie
I realised this movie one year after 3 beloved
family members died in 2 weeks time, just one
week before I gave birth. This opened old pain
and feelings of loss I had experienced in my
youth and which are always felt in what I create.
We can never be prepared for death and
loss. It is like a shadow. It is always there, but
we don’t notice it. We all have an attempt to escape
ephemerality, in the echoes of our actions
and creations and once in a while being blinded
by light. Only through darkness, we can see the
light.
