Johanne Allard | Bomblet (Lebanon), 2024
Edition 2/3
Each piece, with a flower endemic to the country it represents, tells a story through woven threads that create a topography of ruin, remembrance and resurrection.
Bomblet (Lebanon) encapsulates a fragment of embroidery extracted from the Cedrus Libani Cluster Moth sculpture. It is a poignant reflection of the 34 days of conflict, where South Lebanon was carpeted with cluster bombs. These insidious remnants of war were ubiquitous, found ensnared in trees and scattered across every conceivable corner. The artwork weaves a narrative poem into its fibers, stylized to evoke the form and motion of a cluster bomb detonating. Each stitch bears witness to the harrowing echoes of conflict, capturing the essence of destruction and resilience entwined within the fabric of memory.
