In this deeply poetic and intimate monograph, Joëlle Dubois (b. 1990, Ghent) explores themes such as loss, grief, memory and love. Using symbols, metaphors and allegories, she processes her motherÆs AlzheimerÆs diagnosis and transforms pain into a cathartic journey. Through a wide variety of media such as paintings, drawings, sculptures and a video installation, Dubois reflects on connection, identity and healing. Raw yet tender, empowering yet vulnerable, this body of work reveals the fleeting nature of life and the resilience of the motherû daughter bond. With text contributions by Katrina Schwarz (Whitechapel Gallery, London), Christel Tsilibaris (Bozar, Brussels) and Patrick Ronse (Be-Part, Kortrijk). Published on the occasion of the exhibition Rekindling at Be-Part in Kortrijk from 6 September to 7 December 2025.
