The “Art of Absolue” Exhibition under the theme of "Perpetual, Beyond Time", was held in Shanghai to showcase the "Absolue" collection of the world’s leading luxury beauty brand LANCÔME.
For this exhibition, Emmanuelle MOUREAUX unveiled a new installation to express the philosophy of the brand and its collection. This immersive installation is an abstract representation of beauty and eternity. Inspired by the symbolic meaning of butterflies, the room is filled with butterflies in flight, made of a simplified form of specially designed butterflies that gather, dance, flap wings, and soar high into the sky.
