Khayal Chapter II

See the projects

I sculpt light, color, and emotion through paper folding and fabric pleating, creating immersive spaces where stories unfold and people connect. Collaborating with brands like Bvlgari, LVMH, Four Seasons, and cultural institutions worldwide, I push the boundaries of ancestral craft—transforming ordinary materials into extraordinary multisensory experiences that turn abstract narratives into tangible, sensorial journeys resonating deeply with audiences.

    Born from my residency at Jnane Tamsna in Marrakech in collaboration with illustrator Farah Allegue. Khayal is inspired by our shared Mediterranean roots, it explores the delicate interplay of light, shadow, and memory through sculpted paper and intricate cutouts.

“Colours live in Darkness: a short documentary”

by Louis Cochet

Step into the heart of Colours Live in Darkness – Sculpting the Senses of Memory (2025), Pauline Loctin’s first solo exhibition, through this intimate short documentary. Capturing the story, creative process, and sensory world behind the work, the film reveals the emotions, materials, and inspirations that shaped the installation. Featuring a bespoke soundscape by Rehan Lalani, voice by Ziad Qoulaii, and, for the first time in years, Pauline herself on violin.
