“I am trying to connect different eras, our contemporary era with different ones, by trying to find the roots of obsessions and ancient dreams.”
Marguerite Humeau, Coeur de Marie, A relationship that you can't get out of your head, that is still somehow alive, unfinished. It has become a mythical place, an abandoned campsite in your mental landscape.Inspired by the Bleeding Heart, the plant extract traditionally given to the brokenhearted and the codependent, as it is made of two fused flowers, each being half a heart, 2022, detail.
