Trans-humus questions our relationship with objects and practices imbued with spirituality.

Cazalens embarks on a new exploration of a millennia-old tradition defined by the seasonal migration of herds, a practice that embodies issues of resilience and climate adaptation.

Trans-humus invites us to reconsider our connection to adornment objects bearing protective symbols. The collection consists of brooches that revive a practice once carried out by shepherds during transhumance, a cultural heritage that involved adorning herds with floral ornaments believed to offer prophylactic protection and prosperity to the flock.

Cazalens undertakes an anthropological approach, positioning the collection at the heart of an irreducible bond with the living world, questioning the fragility of the material and immaterial heritage of shepherds, as well as the fading knowledge of the pastoral world.
