A LETTER FROM AUR

b. 1996, France
Noémie Aur lives and works between Paris & Santorini

I was twenty-one when everything changed.

My mother survived a life-altering accident that changed both of our lives in ways we could never have imagined. The deeply intertwined mother-daughter relationship we had always known slowly gave way to a quiet and unfamiliar distance.

My mother would never be the same again and with that came grief.

In the emptiness that followed, I felt untethered.

 

By 2023, my mother was doing better and for the first time in years, I allowed myself to begin again. 

I longed for new horizons. I went searching for light, freedom and a new breath of life.

At twenty-seven, I left my family and everything familiar behind to begin again in Bondi Beach, Sydney, where one of the most beautiful and transformative chapters of my life unfolded.

 

I moved into an apartment just minutes from the beach and quickly fell in love with this new way of living. The ocean was always there in the distance and its presence felt almost sacred.

Ever-changing, yet endlessly faithful to itself.

I would wake before sunrise, sit in silence and watch the sun slowly rise above the ocean, bringing with it the promise of a new day.

 

Under the Australian light, I discovered a version of myself I had never known before.

I learned to embrace my femininity.
To trust my own light.
To let it guide me.

 

What began as a personal journey of healing gradually evolved into the foundation of my artistic practice. Today, the essence of this chapter continues to nourish my work.
