The stigma sublimated by Emmanuelle Bousquet. "Stigmate, a term with several meanings: at once scar, wound and the part of a flower that absorbs and retains pollen. The first interaction between air and plant, a passage that leads to the essence. The stigma that Emmanuelle speaks to us about is like a second skin that one explores in order to bloom better: a flowering on her body that reminds us of the past and transforms matter. This body does not merely display its wound like a tattoo on its skin; it becomes the wound in order to transcend it better. Stigmate thus leads us to reconciliation: that of the acceptance of ills and the birth of a new creative impulse. Once more, Emmanuelle Bousquet makes us share, with sincerity, poetry and finesse, her 'inner sunset'." Fiona Sanjabi
