La Re-Tour
Wood, cotton thread, wallpaper, babyphone, motor, 200cm*60cm, 2024

La Re-tour is a playful exploration of recycled materials, sound, space, and storytelling. At its center is a wooden tower clad in recycled wallpaper sourced from a room the artist redecorated in her personal life. This wallpaper, imbued with the history and narratives of its past inhabitants, evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting us to places long gone yet present in our collective memory.

 

Inside the tower, a window offers a glimpse into an intimate space where a babyphone diffuser captures frequencies from the outside world on the receiver placed in the exhibition space. This interplay between the intimate interior and the external environment blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination.

 

Cotton threads swing from the chimney, punctuating  the ordinary into the extraordinary and inviting contemplation on the intersection of the mundane and the fantastical.

 

The project explores themes of domesticity, the concept of home, the female experience, and spaces. Through its use of recycled materials and multiple layers of interpretation, "La Re-tour" invites people to reconsider the spaces we inhabit, the memories we cherish, and the stories that shape our lives.
