Shelves, 2023

Glazed stoneware, gold lustre / Variable dimensions

LBO - lbo-art.fr - An art center in a nursing home, invited by Valérie Mrejen and Mohamed El Khatib.

Three stylish shelves are scattered around the nursing home, blending in with the decor and other artists' works. On the shelves, care equipment belonging to the daily routine of the nursing staff mingles with personal effects belonging to the residents. Dressings, medicines, a syringe, a surgical mask, a gilded frame, a wristwatch, a pocket watch... all rest on the plant-inspired scrolls of the shelves. The whole, modeled in stoneware, glazed and lustrous with gold, forms a harmonious whole. These shelves represent two singular universes striving to cohabit. They describe the fragile yet essential nature of the nursing home.
