This scene invites us to reflect – perhaps on a literary discovery, or a moment of solace in the daily hustle and bustle. “Librairie” is an encouragement to slow down and celebrate all those small pleasures that color our day. – I love French cuisine, literature, and the culture of rest – says the artist, sharing her inspiration with us.
