Maya de Vulpillières (born 1999) is a French-Khmer artist who graduated from L’École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, specializing in Space Art. She works with photos, drawings, ceramics, paintings, and installations; she introduces herself through drawings and the space where they took place.
Maya de Vulpillières presents a collection of soils photographed: her “soils”, or what was happening under her feet. These soils, taken in Cambodia, Vietnam, Reunion Island, India caught her attention for their discrete yet powerful and spontaneous sense of composition. The piece is composed of photographs printed in different formats and glued on small wooden rectangles, similar to modular pieces from kapla, a French game for children made up of pine boards stacked onto each other to make imaginary constructions. Using these miniatures on the ground, she was “constructing worlds, stacked or scattered, thus inviting endless imagination.”
