10,000 Ear-plugs and I can STILL hear you LIE

Delphine is an interesting artist, but I think this is one of her best. Her work is driven by her abandonment by her father, Belgium's King Albert II. Her mother carried on an 18 year affair with him before he was king. Here's a good article on the matter at the TimesOnline. As a child she grew up sad and alone, but upon turning 18, she found out who her real dad was and carried on a secret yet distant relationship with him. Later though the King abandoned her once again and rejected that she was his daughter after a book had made the fact common knowledge. It's amazing how some people can just turn their back on and throw away others.
