"Memory foam" is specially made for the Liduina theme year (2015 Schiedam).
The Holy Liduina was bedridden for much of her life. She was dependent on the care of the other. She was washed for example by her family. Liduina was very sick and her body was already decomposing, while she was still alive. Although the worms thrived on her body and she lost her intestines as well, her body did not smell badly. In fact it even smelled very pleasant.
The "Memory foam" symbolizes the dissolution process. The work, made entirely out of soap, reminiscent of bodily fluids; bile, blood, pus. Despite the grim appearance, the work smells nicely.
