Embroidered pieces

Birds in vivid colors, embroidered thread by thread, like an invitation to take flight.

This collection was born during my pregnancy. I began it without yet knowing all that the months ahead would change. Then, as my pregnancy progressed, the embroideries evolved with me, gradually taking on another dimension: they too were carried alongside my daughter.

The rainbow-billed toucan, the tanager and the hummingbird became the silent witnesses of a time of transformation, waiting and renewal.

Worked in thread painting, an embroidery technique that lets the threads be handled like brushstrokes, these birds seek to precisely capture the richness of their plumage: their colors, their shades, the play of light and their smallest details.

The plant motifs in the background offer a delicate setting for the birds, like a fragment of landscape from which they might take flight.

L'Envol speaks to that moment when we gently leave behind what we knew to move toward something new.

A collection born of a new beginning.
