FOLLOWING THE TIDE
Coffee-table Collection
This collection is inspired by the lagoons and cenotes in the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico: the movement of the tide and the change in topography reveal different materials shaping the intersection of earth and water. "Following the Tide" is an explosion erupted from the circular nucleus, dispersed into crushed Forest Green marble and aggregates of recuperated brass. It is composed in a pigmented resin on an oxidized bronze base.

SKELETON HEARTS
Short-film in collaboration with Mounia Akl
An Architecture film that observes the construction and deconstruction of a transportable disco bar, its structures and its human memory.
This 3rd short-film is part of a film series collaborating with directors and musicians, to intersect the realms of architecture, cinema and music. They emerge from the sisters' passionate curiosity, as they seek to delve into the essence of every design they conceive, be it a physical space or an object, by weaving them into imaginative narratives. Their aim is to captivate the audience with immersive storytelling that transcends mere static visuals.
