In 2021 I created this acrylic painting from a photo of my friend and me. We are seven years old, and pop music, summer, and a self-proclaimed certainty of who we were surrounded us. While I was making the painting, the memory warped, as if the younger us in a parallel universe were coming back to haunt.

Later on, a woman tells me about her daughter and her tragic destiny:
She passed away in a car crash.
The woman is certain I painted her daughter.

After hearing this, I wrote:

A mother lost her daughter in a car crash; a sister searching, dreaming. In a hyper-saturated fantasy:
We are the Superlative Conspiracy.

It measures 120 x 80 cm and I showed it at the show All Inn, Het Hem in Zandaam.
