About

Our partnership was born out of a need: to create works that connect.

Connecting artistic languages, connecting people, connecting humans to living things.

At the intersection of books, installations, and textile art, we develop immersive works that offer viewers a wandering experience. Imaginary landscapes unfold, populated by voices, myths, and memories.

What brings us together deeply is a shared concern for the world.

For threatened oceans, trees, endangered species, and ancestral practices. We seek to bring about forms of re-enchantment—not as an escape, but as a way of observing our era and opening up new possibilities.

Our work explores an essential tension: that between the slow pace of materials—embroidering, cutting, shaping, folding—and the accelerated pace of digital technology. By combining craftsmanship and contemporary technologies, we create works in which innovation serves contemplation. Augmented reality becomes a tool of revelation: making the invisible visible, bringing presences to light, revealing stories, opening passages. Each work unfolds on several levels of interpretation, inviting us to look differently, listen more attentively, and open doors.

Creating together is above all a journey of encounters.

Encounters with landscapes and communities, through international residencies (Brazil, India, Taiwan, Morocco, Tunisia, United States, France).

Encounters with collected stories, skills, voices.

Finally, encounters with audiences, when the work becomes a shared space.

Our partnership is a constant dialogue: two sensibilities, two languages, two perspectives, one commitment.

Through our work, we seek to give voice to what is fading away, to reveal what we no longer want to see, and to open up spaces for listening, beauty, and awareness.

For us, creating together means forging an alliance.
