Les ombres fleurs
2023

Les ombres fleurs is a series of glazed vases with organic and mineral shapes, produced over three months at Collectif Cric in Strasbourg. Inspired by the German concept of Wanderschaft (or Wanderung), the vases borrow their silhouettes from rock and ore.

"Die Wanderschatft" is in a way inherited from German Romanticism. At the end of the 18th century, it was customary to illustrate the hiker in contact with a picturesque nature. To get closer to its inner self through the pedestrian journey which becomes a matter of necessary poetry. This term which can be translated "peregrination" is also used to designate the course of the "Compagnons du devoir" in Germany. Gradually it bequeaths its literary attributes to the illustrated travel guides and leporello panoramas that will become the first tourism books.
