HENRI AND THE STRAW

 The focus is on the connection to nature,

dryness, pain, and our origins.

In the act of violence, the intertwined straw hair is torn away.

In the research process, straw served, among other things,

as a mattress.

 

“IN THE END, WE WILL CONSERVE

ONLY WHAT WE LOVE;

WE WILL LOVE ONLY WHAT 

WE UNDERSTAND AND WE WILL UNDERSTAND ONLY WHAT

WE ARE TAUGHT.” BABA DIOUM

 

“The blades beneath my fingers, i remember another time. water your dried leaves with my tears, brush you while passing. wonder what lives through you.” henri kirsch
