the Tree of Generations
Read moreShow less
October 2020, our valley that we cherish so much, the valley of
our parents, is crushed, rolled. Water brought us disaster but also a first name: Alex. The height of irony is that this devastating first name, taken from the Greek verb Alexein, means “to protect”.
Protecting, precisely, is one of the goals that each of us sets for ourselves in life: to protect our family, our memories through our ancestors, our heritage, not only financial but that of memory. Individual memory which can be collective so as not to allow forgetting to take hold.
Our “Tree of Generations” project is a continuation of the approach that we have proposed to you since 2021 and to which many of you have signed up. Trying to alleviate through art our suffering caused by storm Alex. In 2022, the Bee was born, pointing its benevolent sting at our village from La Ciappea. In 2023, the Brebis Brigasque, wise and peaceful, welcomes us at the entrance to the village.
In 2024, to crown this sculptural journey, we have
asked Laurent BOSIO, painter, sculptor and child of
village, to create the “Tree of Generations”. This work brings together the tools that you kindly entrusted to us. Those of your parents, grandparents. These tools which have marked your families, immortalize them and bring them together as we have managed to unite all of us since 2020 to rebuild our
little paradise. This monumental sculpture allows everyone to find ourselves and preserve a little of its history.
Memory must help us move forward
writing our past into the future.
