Dear Little Arianette 2020, 2020
Plagued by worldwide news of the pandemic, a woman, surrounded by a bundle of gauze bandages, like Penelope unties and rolls them up, preparing them for futur wounds. Sitting inside a tent, a protected womb/space set up in her living-room, she reads aloud postcards she received in her childhood, escaping into their colorful world. This lost world revived through beautiful exotic travels, painfully echoes the past and present separation from her loved ones due to COVID-19 lockdowns.
