Souvenir Enfoui, Hideyuki Ishibashi x Maison Tempsens
At the end of summer, I entered through a half-forest of hawthorn and birch, the ground slippy underfoot as I climbed the dark grey slope. At the summit, the air opened like a high mountain — the sun radiant, yet the breeze was fresh and clear. A faint sweetness of Sainte-Lucie cherry blossoms lingered there, their presence like a hidden memory of foreign workers, perhaps a fruit once eaten, a seed fallen and grown. The fragrance mingled with the dry breath of coal and the green shade of birch leaves. It felt like standing on an alpine crest, a fragile balance of heat and coolness, stone and flower, overlooking the reddish-brown roofs of the cité below.
