About the art
Artist statement
This piece, crafted on a 26cm wooden panel with blue and maroon tones, represents an invented portrait that refers to the extreme situation that migrants sometimes experience in their process of adapting to a new reality. The phrase, inscribed in French, can be translated as: "We foreigners, we always live on the edge of a mental collapse. This artwork belongs to the "Exchange Currency Series" created in 2024, starting from the concept of the "face" on coins. Conceptually, the artwork is part of a project in which the artist, drawing from her own experience, explores the theme of foreignness and the sense of 'not being from here.' Furthermore, it connects with the experiences of others who have undergone the challenges of migration.
These artworks are designed to function both individually and in multiple compositions, allowing for installations tailored to the space with as many artworks as desired. Please contact us if you wish to purchase more than one piece to receive a customized offer, reduce shipping costs, and explore additional stock options. The artist accepts custom commissions.
