In this striking work, Suzanne Larrieu explores the depths of the human soul and the twists and turns of collective memory. “Consciousness” is a complex sculptural tableau where multiple faces overlap and merge, evoking memories, dreams and fears shared by humanity. The small masks, like silent witnesses, remind us of the souls that populate our subconscious, those we have met, loved or lost.
Working with reclaimed cardboard and hand-painted papers, Larrieu skillfully used layers and textures to symbolize the depth of the human experience. Each figure seems part of a larger whole, a mosaic of interconnected lives, a tapestry of emotions and stories that intertwine in strange harmony. “Consciousness” invites each viewer to confront their own inner mirror, a landscape where the intimate and the universal merge, evoking both the fragility and strength of our shared humanity.
