The five textile works of the "Communal Thread" serie are based on archive photographs of the commune in which I grew up. These images, printed on felt and meticulously sliced into thin strips, underwent a laborious process of reconstitution through repeated knotting. While the photographs captured moments of joy — such as large gatherings, communal dances, and children games — the strips, held together by knots, present a blurred image. Recognizable only from a distance, the scenes progressively disintegrate into fragments as one approaches.
