The confident look, big smile and matching outfits of the \u0026#39;perfect couple\u0026#39; depicted here refer to the ideal image of homeliness and happiness, as presented by the advertising world since the 1950s. This image is contradicted by the fact that the characters seem to be swallowed up by a swirling mass of curly, blond hair. The work holds up a mirror to us of a vain world dominated by outward appearances. The expression \u003cem\u003e\u0026#39;the ties that bind\u0026#39;\u003c/em\u003e, which also serves as title for the entire exhibition, is used to describe a common idea or belief that connects people and has to do with social cohesion, group identification and identity formation.

De zelfverzekerde blik, de glimlach en de \u0026lsquo;matching outfits\u0026rsquo; van het \u0026lsquo;perfecte koppel\u0026rsquo; refereren aan het ideaalbeeld van huiselijkheid en geluk zoals het sinds de jaren 1950 door de reclamewereld wordt opgehangen. Dit beeld wordt doorprikt doordat de personages opgeslokt lijken te worden door een kolkende massa krullend, blond haar. Het werk houdt ons een spiegel voor van een ijdele wereld die wordt gedomineerd door uiterlijke schijn.
