Éloge du retour
"My father was taken from me when I was a child, then my mother and my brother when I was barely a teenager. I left, to isolate myself, to escape, to flee. Can time erase the past? Upon my return from a long exile, I remember. Travelling back in time, inner movements, the future beckons. A tribute to my homeland." (Lysanne Thibodeau)
