Mieke Drossaert strongly (and not unfairly) believes that there is a need for imagery that does not fit into the constant stream of images. And so, in her paintings, glass works, carpets and murals, she depicts people whose faces seem to be absent. Striking, fascinating and, above all, quite extraordinary. The Ostend artist doesn’t consider herself a street artist at all, but that is exactly what makes her contribution to The Crystal Ship so special. She doesn’t fit in. Just the way she likes it.
