" Woven Memory "

Interactive sound weaving

" Woven Memory " is an interactive sound installation celebrating the deep bond between a mother and daughter through the traditional art of weaving. The work explores the metaphor of the carpet taking birth on the loom in the same way that a child's education is woven through conversations with its mother. Moments of transmission of values and beliefs as much as of prohibitions and fears. This work is an ode to a childhood spent around the loom, where memories are charged with colorful threads and evocative sounds.The installation emphasizes interaction, memory, and emotion, offering an immersive and personal artistic experience.
