Occasion – The Words of Jeanne, Jacqueline Bonneau Gicquel

Jacqueline BONNEAU GICQUEL Jeanne's Words Since childhood, Jeanne has lived by words.

They have accompanied her, fascinated her, shaped her. They have partly made her who she is.

It is through their sound, their depth, their rhythm, that she finds her breath.

They have connected her to others, to this humanity that has never ceased to be her quest, in the best and worst of times.

The pandemic that began in spring 2020 brought forth a host of new words, and she wonders if they herald another world, and what kind of world that might be.

It led Jeanne to reconsider customs, self-evident truths, and certainties.

Covid fractured certain words, just as it fractured our social organizations, forcing us to re-evaluate them in a new context.

Jeanne tries to navigate through old and new words to reconnect with the always fragile balance that language offers her.
