"For most of the story, Anonymous was a woman." Virginia Woolf Lace has its source in history. It is part of a historical context with its own use. In the autumn of 1902, the sardine disappeared from the coast for climatic reasons, the maritime population is then plunged into great misery. It is a transgenerational transmission through the symbolic but also melancholy object, it is the nostalgia of passing time. Forgetting or losing these objects is a loss of history.
