Chapter 1 – Floortje
Every thread has a beginning.
For The Milk Thread, it began with Floortje.
Mother of four, she offered each of her children the gift of milk, warmth, and tenderness. Four journeys, four births, four times the same silent dance between mother and child yet each time, a new story unfolded.
Her breastfeeding is a memory woven into the body, a breath carried forward, an invisible legacy. In her arms, the boundaries between giving and surrender blur: she nourishes, she soothes, she welcomes again and again.
Her images bear witness to this secret bond: the repetition of gestures, the fatigue, the raw softness, the fusion, the intimacy. They tell the story of a mother who, in the silence of everyday life, wrote the very first page of this project.
Floortje is the beginning.
The origin of this thread of milk and love that connects all mothers, beyond time.
