In the summer of 2019, at the Gasthuiskapel in Borgloon, originally dedicated to Mary, Emmy Asakura created an “in situ” art project, using the meanwhile desecrated chapel as the perfect location for her exhibit 'Longing for your Blue Embrace', in which she explores the female stereotype and the figure of Holy Virgin. For this project, and flowing naturally from her earlier work, the artist has created a new series of paintings in which blue literally is the principal color. The painting 'The Woman who knows' (2019) was part of this series.
