Tekst by the artist:
"This painting is about the power of women. I was inspired by the stories of residents from Buitenhof, by the portrait photographs taken by Jacobus Anthonie Meessen in the Dutch East Indies (now part of the collection of Museum Prinsenhof Delft), and by the history of the VOC. That history is often told from the perspective of trade and power, but I wanted to show the other side: the women who silently carried this history on their shoulders.The woman in my painting symbolizes resilience and connectedness. The elements in this painting depict how women have carried both past and future with them across generations.

Restoring the Balance:

Tunagari and Meri Kahani are part of NOBIS 4. Under the title “Restoring the Balance”, two historical narratives intersect in the present about the role of the VOC in the past."

Tekst van de kunstenaar:
"Dit schilderij gaat over de kracht van vrouwen. Ik werd geïnspireerd door de verhalen van bewoners van Buitenhof, door de portretfoto's van Jacobus Anthonie Meessen in Nederlands-Indië (nu onderdeel van de collectie van Museum Prinsenhof Delft) en door de geschiedenis van de VOC. Die geschiedenis wordt vaak verteld vanuit het perspectief van handel en macht, maar ik wilde de andere kant laten zien: de vrouwen die deze geschiedenis in stilte op hun schouders droegen. De vrouw in mijn schilderij symboliseert veerkracht en verbondenheid. De elementen in dit schilderij tonen hoe vrouwen zowel het verleden als de toekomst generatie op generatie met zich meedra
