My Roots Hurting.
(extract of a dream) 2021.
Artistic project
“I have already been in this place a few years ago, on a trip, but my memories are very vague. It was a time when I cut myself off from everything, to be able to follow, to survive. I left home at the end of 2015 because of a war. I was not alone in my journey, but surrounded by thousands of other people. Like me, they had to cut themselves off, that’s how it is during wars, there's nothing we can do about it. I sometimes dream of these people, of those I met during my trip. I think their roots are hurting them, just as my roots are hurting me. Since then, I have returned to the traces of my trip a few years later. This time, dry nature reminded me of my home, my childhood memories.”
Through this series I wanted to create an imaginary universe where these bodies find their land, not in a political way, but more as in memories and dreams, I wanted to show an inaccessible space and and how the link between roots and home develops once in exile.
