Always late, but I’m proud to present to you my finals. I thought about it just like an exhibition, with links and surprises, full. I couldn’t fit everything down there so I put almost one of each piece displayed during that short moment. Toujours en retard, mais je suis fière de vous présenter mon diplôme. Je l’ai pensé comme une exposition, pleine de connexions et de surprises, complète. Je n’ai pas pu tout mettre là dessous, alors j’ai mis la majorité des pièces présentées pendant ce bref instant.
