Johanne Allard | Anemone (Palestine), 2017
Anemone is a testament to cultural resilience and memory, featuring traditional embroidery motifs of graves to document the multiple wars. Central to the piece is the anemone, native to the Mediterranean and symbolizing resilience and beauty for the Palestinian people. Each spring, it blooms into a red carpet, embodying both natural splendor and the enduring spirit of a people rooted in their land. Inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, where the anemone arises from grief, this piece evokes the fragile beauty of life and the strength that withstands even the harshest winds.
