ARTIST STATEMENT
Silence, désir, seeds of light is a multimedia analog collage project that speaks of memory, identity and renewal.
I found three drawers on rue Amelot in Paris. These drawers made me think about the objects they once contained. I decided to give them a new life by filling them with images and objects that I associate with the search for belonging.
