nature's cure

Herbal and natural remedies are often brushed off as non-working or frowned upon for being fake and an excuse to make money. However, it is true that, for decades, herbal medicine has been used in treatments for congestive heart failure. The benefits of herbal medicine is often great but forgotten

Detail of the artwork (linocut plant heart in red).

Based on a hypothetical article about heart failure and food, I started thinking of ways to represent a way to get healthier. I then thought to incorporate medicinal herbs as their benefits are often unexpected. With this in mind, I created a linocut illustration of a heart filled with medicinal herbs which would accompany said article.

DISPARITION

This magazine offers a pause, a suspended moment to reflect on how we apprehend the complexity of a disappearance and its repercussions. Thanks to the transparency of the pages and their folds, a subtle superposition of content emerges, offering a second, more diffuse, almost dreamlike reading of the "traces" evoked.

Inspired by the idea of ​​the traces left by a disappearance, this magazine is presented entirely in white, symbolically evoking this concept. It is distinguished by a succession of delicate folds that cover its content, representing the traces left by what is being erased. The reader is invited to linger, to revisit these imprints by patiently unfolding each page, in a gesture that becomes a ritual of discovery.
