Viloma

Gaïa places a kiss imbued with eternity on her daughter’s face, still covered in amniotic fluid and blood. Then, nothing. Gaïa and Otis walk down the hallway, hand in hand, and disappear around the corner of the world, leaving behind their dazed bodies. Gaïa will spend her entire life—and far beyond—trying to access that memory, never succeeding: her whole body remembers that kiss, yet she can never picture it.

Surrounded by Iris, Circe, Mélie, and Hera—a family she has known since childhood—Gaïa navigates her grief, sustained by the power of artistic creation, nature, and sisterhood, while Otis silently spirals downward.

In the shadow of this fate, deep within the Earth, five witches cast a spell that spreads beyond the walls of Fort de Figuerolles and the cliffs of the Côte Bleue, where Gaïa has retreated into a trance on the fringes of reality

VILOMA is more than just a novel about grief. It is an ode to life and sisterhood, an invitation to rethink our contemporary dogmas and to imagine a world where human relationships and our connection to nature regain their sacred and inalienable nature. The writing, deliberately evocative, prioritizes suggestion over direct description and offers a deeply sensitive perception of the world. VILOMA was born from this approach, which seeks through writing to capture what our bodies know before we do—and what reason struggles to articulate.
