Wall Installation:  'Does life begin at 40?'
Composed of a limited edition silkscreen series called 'Eclipse' on paper and on 27 'painting-book-objects' 125 x 250 cm

This wall installation was dismantled and given away to the speakers of the jubilee symposium held to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Management Center De Baak, in Noordwijk aan Zee in The Netherlands. A poem emerged behind each painting depicting the story of life: It takes 40 Moon weeks of human gestation to ripen before birth and 40 Sun years to prepare for rebirth.
