A bag is a priori a banal object, used daily, whether to cross town or the world. It is those who have traveled much that interest us here. The bags are wrinkled, exhausted, sometimes even collapsed. They have almost anthropomorphic forms, as if they had taken the shape of the body carrying them.

But the bags are made precious by the glass fragility as well as their contents: like a memory of landscape, or a feeling. Indeed, what is left when one had to leave everything behind? Almost every bag contains a trace of color evoking a wet or dry landscape, a light, a smell, an impalpable memory... They are each very unique.
