Le Souvenir de Massilia
“We like to seek out the warmth of the past when things are not going well in the present.” – Hedwig Wiebes
Fabrics become tactile vessels of memory, holding together fragments of time and place. Comprising digital and screen-printed techniques, this womenswear print collection is inspired by childhood summers spent with my grandparents in southern France. It evokes the fleeting beauty of recollection, transforming cloth into expressions of personal narrative.
Each piece reflects my practice of using textiles as a language of remembrance, to preserve the intangible. Colour, process, and material act as emotional residues, holding space for stories of the past, an ode to embracing the nature of forgotten moments through the creation of physical mementos.
This collection is a love letter to impermanence, an act of preserving what time quietly steals away.
This is slow-making as storytelling. This is memory made visible.
