Behind Mémoire Bleue

With only a few days to go before photographing Mémoire Bleue, I wanted to share a glimpse behind the process and how this body of work slowly found its direction.
Over the past six months, I have been researching, experimenting and letting myself create without a fixed outcome in mind. Throughout that process, stripes and shades of blue kept returning, which made me question why I felt so drawn to them and what they might represent.
This has also been a year of reflecting on my own sense of home. Looking back, it feels fitting that my subconscious took me back to the beginning: my childhood and early years in Europe.

Much of this collection grew through
experimentation. I spent months in
my creative bubble, applying plaster,
testing patterns and following each
idea without knowing exactly where
it would lead. Slowly, a visual language
began to emerge.

As the patterns became more defined, I began
exploring how they could move beyond the
artworks and onto functional forms. This led to
a collection that brings together wall pieces,
tables, stools and sculptural plinths, all
connected by the same language.

It was only once the pieces began coming
together that I could see the story forming
between them. The repeated lines, fragmented
patterns and different shades of blue felt like
flashes of memory, each holding a small part
of something familiar.
Mémoire Bleue is coming soon...
