In the back garden of the Emile Van Doren Museum in Genk, we find the Welfare Campus and the Toermalien Grand Café. There it was that Duo Verde built a living garden featuring a pond and a sycamore. Visual artist Sofie Muller was asked to use her artistic talent to unite the museum and the campus. She designed a bronze sculpture of a child that embraces the sycamore. The statue was named Fanny after the daughter of Van Doren, who donated the villa, Le coin Perdu, to the city of Genk. At the nursery, Sofie Muller had taken a mould of the tree’s trunk so that the work of art and the London sycamore would fit perfectly together. The idea is that eventually, as the tree grows, it will unite with the sculpture so that they become inextricably linked.
