► KNITOPIA

KNITOPIA is a piece inspired by a dream I had in my childhood while living in a Japanese housing complex. The idea grew from that faint memory. The ISAI Faidherbe building in Amiens, which once supported the everyday sleep of many people during the postwar turbulence, became a poetic symbol in this work — a place where peaceful imagination can be gently woven into dreams.”
