Paris
About the work
In Jacqueline's collage, magic unfolds through a mix of bodily interventions, dream-like scenes, and architectural elements. These represent the beautiful and sometimes risky aspects of life that we all encounter. Creating these collages is therapeutic for Jacqueline, helping her process her experiences.
This collage captures the premonition one experiences prior to visiting Paris. The city consistently promises new and unexpected experiences. A trip to Paris elicits a sense of anticipation, heightened by the intriguing closed door in the collage, enticing you to open it and unveil the unfolding adventures the city holds. As the woman gracefully descends the stairs, a feeling of calm prevails before the impending vibrancy, symbolised by the iconic Eiffel Tower in front of her. To fully immerse yourself in the bustling urban fabric, all it takes is to pass through that inviting door.
