“Dutch” by Micky Hoogendijk is a captivating exploration of identity and heritage. Rooted in her background, Hoogendijk draws from the rich tapestry of Dutch art history, which she was immersed in from a young age. This influence is evident in her use of light and composition, reminiscent of the works of seventeenth-century Dutch masters like Johannes Vermeer. The model in “Dutch” dons a traditional Dutch cap, sourced from a costume shop and manipulated to evoke a timeless quality. This piece is a testament to Hoogendijk’s ability to blend historical influences with contemporary themes, creating a dialogue between past and present through her dream-inspired vision.
