This installation is based on the research about the floods cause by the river Le Tarn in the city of Albi, France.
The element that ties all the installations is derived from a collection of fragments of silt left by a recent flood in the basement of Le Centre d’art le LAIT in Albi, France.One of the installation consists of various glass containers that were collected from the people who had been impacted or experi- enced by floods near the river. The painted fragments were placed in the containers filled with water, with the silts slowly disintegrates itself from the white paint, leaving the paint which retains the imprint of each fragment.
