Réparation, Indian ink and oil painting on rice paper, hand sewn, 350 × 300 cm, 2019
Réparation is made of pieces of rice paper torn and sewn by hand, 350 × 300 cm. An excerpt from the poem Separation by John Berger is embroidered on its surface. This poem addresses the profound transformations that affect the lives of people who emigrate. The hand-sewn rice paper works evoke attempts of repair and reconstruction based on my experience.
“With mules, on foot
by airliners and lorries
in our hearts
we carry everything,
harvests, coffins, water,
oil, hydrogen, roads,
flowering lilac and
the earth thrown into the mass grave.”John Berger, Separation
from Pages of Wounds
