Using a self-invented system that assigns colours to letters, she translates each name into vibrant abstract forms, lines, textures, and ceramic pieces, capturing the intimacy and sincerity behind each offering. Visitors are invited to contribute a small meaningful object or create one in the gallery in exchange for a handmade ceramic coin.
This exhibition reflects on the meaning of giving and receiving, considering how every act of exchange, whether physical, emotional, or symbolic—shapes our relationships, communities, and shared humanity. Through this shared ritual of language and art, Erika Germain invites us into a space of connection, memory, and love.
