Mélissa Fournier

Having grown up in the north until I was eighteen, I question the value, status, and mechanisms of social mobility through design, writing, graphic design, and ceramics.
My sometimes autobiographical work opens doors to my intimacy and allows me to revisit my social environment and popular culture: scratch cards, standardized furniture, engraved bricks.
This identity quest, initiated in my thesis Bury Me in Versace, continues through works that seek to understand and deconstruct contemporary cultural hierarchies, while also addressing more delicate subjects such as grief.
Both cynical and humorous, my practice blends social critique with aesthetic research, creating spaces for dialogue and reappropriation, where new narratives emerge—capable of challenging the power dynamics that structure our society and questioning the circulation of symbols of wealth in our collective imagination.
