Presented in my solo exhibition in Abbaye des Prémontrés, Pont à Mousson, France.
In his war diary, my grandfather recounts that he went through Pont à Mousson to go to Woëvre's front. The emblem of this city is the St Gobain metallurgical factory. Having always been attracted by industrial buildings, I wanted to paint this factory to testify of the passage of my grandfather in this city.

I work in series, and for each I make graphic choices and adopt an adapted writing. After working on an Identity series, since 2015, I also work on the archive, memory, disappearance. I use the documents left by my grandparents and my parents. So my work, like my identity as granddaughter and daughter, brings to life the traces of their passages. It also brings me back to my own finitude. There is a moment, that of the loss of his two parents, when it is feared that the days after will pass too quickly. Christian Boltanski said in an interview with Etienne Hatt « La mort des parents est une grande coupure dans la vie, car la mort devient plus proche ………Au bout de trois générations on a totalement disparu ». (Les grands entretiens d’artpress Christian Boltanski, Imec Editeur 2014, pages 60 et 61 )
