UN MONDE EN SOI
“Un Monde en Soi” is a series of vessels. They are made with long strips of maps then from specific cities or countries. These vessels hold ambivalence; they are a symbolic containers of my migrant story, spaces to be filled while, at the same time, not proper containers. Interstices are an integral part of the sculpture. The structural force of paper dictate the shape of each vessel. I let the material take over while I define the size. The shape and allure of this woven construction has the fragile aspect of an ancient, handmade object. The paper vessel invites the viewer to look deeply within and consider what might belong there.
