“Images and artworks can interact and form wholes in many ways. When they form sequences through the repetition of a motif or their identical format, or as parts of a whole, the images and elements become closely interconnected. A series activates and transforms the edges, frames, and spaces between the images. The doubling or mirroring, multiplication or division of the image has a strong visual impact and creates meaning beyond the individual image. The series compels us to look synthetically.” — Bart Verschaffel
