Le Silence et Le Bruit /// Silence and Noise

Silence and Noise is a work that traces the mourning of a stillborn child.

Following the loss of my own child, I learned that many women around me had already experienced a miscarriage that occurred sooner or later during their pregnancy.

This event was a real upheaval in my life and in my woman's body.

Silence and Noise evokes my relationship to the world during the year that followed this loss. It bears witness to my distance from others, from a solitary and perpetual search to a form of appeasement.

The presence of natural elements evokes what has attached me to the world and has gradually brought me back to the surface of life because I found in them refuge, poetry and spirituality.

In my own way, I wanted to testify to the resolutely feminine journey that constitutes the loss of a child during pregnancy and of which we still speak only half-heartedly in our society.

Le Silence et le Bruit est un travail qui retrace le deuil d’un enfant mort-né.

Suite à la perte de mon propre enfant, j’ai appris que beaucoup de femmes de mon entourage avaient déjà éprouvé une fausse couche parvenue tôt ou tard au cours de leur grossesse.

Cet évènement a été un véritable bouleversement dans ma vie et dans mon corps de femme.

Le Silence et Le Bruit évoque mon rapport au monde pendant l’année qui a suivi cette perte. Il témoigne de mon éloignement aux autres, d’une quête solitaire et perpétuelle, jusqu’à une forme d’apaisement.

La présence des éléments naturels y évoque ce qui m’a rattachée au monde et qui m’a peu à peu ramenée à la surface de la vie car j’ai trouvé en eux refuge, poésie et spiritualité.

À ma manière, j’ai voulu témoigné du parcours résolument féminin que constitue la perte d’un enfant pendant la grossesse et dont on ne parle encore qu’à demi mot dans notre société.
