Programme
Un geste vers le bas, Eve Pietruschi
An immersive experience where nature, poetry, and the fragility of life intertwine. Through drawings, engravings, embroidery, and botanical adornments, the artist weaves a delicate symbiosis inviting you to slow down and reconnect with the essential elements of our world: the earth, the seasons, and sensations.
