Dim. 181x208 (cm)
Collection Traces
Parchment written, rewritten, deconstructed and reconstructed but never erased, the palimpsest preserves traces of the past under the words of the present. A meeting place where everything superimposes in the echo of time. Carrying within it the imprints of forgotten stories, weaving a silent dialogue between yesterday and today, where each layer tells the stories and emotions of a living memory.
Palimpsest is a monumental fresco composed of finely chiseled zelliges, mixing glazed and raw tiles in a wide palette of vibrant tints, evoking nature awakening and erosion.
In this fresco, Samir Mazer sculpts a living memory that regenerates itself in Fez clay, a story that does not freeze, but continues to speak for itself.
