Adrift or Homeward Bound

When away for a month in a place such as Venice, the endless narrow lanes become an ocean in which t one can easily lose oneself.

For a month, I walked, ran, swam and navigated Venice. I met people, artworks and sea creatures.

The experience took me on an emotional and physical  rollercoaster, exploring my identity as an artist, mother, French native child and researcher of the world.


In this post, I wish to share all the best and most striking moments of this month.



First night in Venice, San Marco's flood- a strong reminder of  the threat of Climate Change.





















   Discovering the view from my own bedroom;


    Goodnight San Marco
 


   Good morning San Marco

Spinning across exhibits, an alternative mean  to record, understand, make sense-
