6 PINS IN A SHOE


Fragments curated by Mary-Grace
Fragments is this new reflection in the mirrorball that I want to share with you. A place that reflects all these fragments that make up my world. Fragments can be books, places, people, things; it's boundless in time and place. All my fragments are curated with care and time. All my fragments will be shared monthly. I hope my fragments can turn into your missing piece.

How I Witnessed Priya Hein: Riambel Part 2
I was born in Mauritius. It’s my dear Island. I grew up surrounded by people of different religions, ethnicities and beliefs. I went to kindergarten, primary school, college and university. I kid you not - I never crossed paths with a Franco-Mauritian. We were living on the same Island but inhabiting parallel realms. I was from Mercury; they were from Neptune.

Grace’s Chronicles #20: Why I left?
It's been weeks, turned into months, and a year. Writing my thoughts and feelings anywhere but in my journal feels so new and eerie. Words used to flow like the Sailor Song. Words used to appease me.

How I Witnessed Shenaz Patel: Funambuler
I met Shenaz Patel, the explorer of words and ideas, several times on the tight rope. Until she was out of sight, too far away. She writes with depth - in thought, perspective, and reality.

SHADOWS AND SCALE: A Monochromatic Journey through Port-Louis Market by Elizabeth Leech
A tangy smell, worn tiles, fish scales and fleeting smiles, Port-Louis Market lives between memory and motion. In Shadows and Scales, Elizabeth Leech captures this historic place in striking black and white, where butchers, fishmongers, stray dogs and quiet stillness coexist. Her photographs feel like slow cinema: meditative, honest, and deeply human, celebrating one of Mauritius’ last living heritage sites.
