Roots, seeds, soil

Roots become, here, a metaphor for memory in circulation.

From the artist's dossier

The 2019 exhibition was called Roots; the 2025 exhibition, Planting Motherhood. Between them runs a vocabulary of anchoring and movement: roots that cross architecture, seeds scattered in the everyday, the journey from India to Paris, and the insistence that everything must blend, like grains in the soil.
