Le forme di mia mamma
This is a present I made for my mother's 50th birthday. She's a very generous person, she always devotes herself to the other people, but she never wants to point this out. I asked to 10 people, among the closest to her, to think about her and represent her through a shape - a geometric, composed or invented one - then to draw it and explain their choice through a little text.
I then composed a book with all the images and texts. The book was hand-bounded and the cover was hand-stitched.
This was a non-direct way to show all the good in her by the eyes and perception of other people. Everybody expressed themselves from their personal point of view and their experience of her. It was amazing to see the different results from the people I asked to participate.
It was also an opportunity to me to make use of my work to give her something, as she continously does to me.
