RESPIREZ VERRE

This experimental work was commissioned by the district of Satigny in Switzerland to encourage the inhabitants to be more aware of recycling.

Enlisting famous wine growers from the region, I decide to salvage the wine bottles and broke them into fragments to create a colored mosaic wall situated in one of the main village streets. The glass mosaic had a botanic appearance reminiscent of the vines themselves. I wanted to adorn the wall in such a way that it would be homage to nature and the pleasure she freely gives us.

I worked on this installation, every day for a month. The title is a ecological word play using the alluding to the double meaning of « verre » (glass) and « vert » (green).
