Valérie Perrin
“I like giving life. Sowing, watering, harvesting. And starting again every year. I like life just as it is today. Bathed in sunshine. I like being at the essence of things.”
Valérie Perrin, Fresh Water for Flowers

Valérie Perrin
“And then, just like the cemetery cats, the sun reached as far as my room, reached under my sheets. I opened the curtains, and then the windows. I went back downstairs to the kitchen, boiled the water for the tea, and aired the room. I finally returned to the garden. Finally gave fresh water to the flowers.”
Valérie Perrin, Fresh Water for Flowers

Valérie Perrin
“Like a flight of swallows as winter approaches,
Your soul flew away with no hope of return.”
Valérie Perrin, Fresh Water for Flowers

Valérie Perrin
“On the day all these photos were taken, none of the men, children, women who posed innocently in front of the camera could have thought that that moment would represent them for all eternity.”
Valérie Perrin, Fresh Water for Flowers

Valérie Perrin
“But since I've never had a taste for unhappiness, I decided it wouldn't last. Unhappiness has to stop someday.”
Valérie Perrin, Fresh Water for Flowers
