Can you change what is said about someone’s life, especially when the telling of this life and its value is done so incorrectly? In the short span of the week, I used my time to research and build a connection with an influential woman from the 14th century, portrayed as part of a sculpture in the St-Michiels en St-Goedelekathedraal in Brussels. Because of the falsification of historical documents, she has been portrayed as a heretical sect leader. By visiting, connecting, befriending, and visualizing her, I clear her name and portray her as the loving, progressive woman that I believe her to have been.
