Avant l'oubli #[nn]

The sunny yellow cover of *Avant l'oubli* immediately draws the eye to a large, luminous moon at its center, surrounded by eight circular vignettes — each framing a different character in quiet, intimate moments rendered in a soft blue-and-lavender palette. From a woman in a wide-brimmed hat to a group gathered around what looks like a child with Mickey Mouse ears, a figure holding a cane, and others lost in thought or solitude, the arrangement feels like fragments of memory orbiting a single still point. Published by L'employé du Moi in 2021, Lisa Blumen's graphic work announces itself as something thoughtful and deeply human — a collection of lives held gently before they slip away.
