Says Isabelle de Kleine of her large-scale paper work In-Concrete: “I am exploring the fragility of memory and the way our thoughts are every changing. Memory is often viewed as something finite and everlasting, but in reality there is no certainty.

“Grey tones and impasto medium were used to create a weight to the background layers which is contrasted with the soft feminine expression and floral references exemplifying the strength and fragility of our mind. In-Concrete also references fashion and beauty standards, looking at the expectation on femininity and softness.”
