Blason is a small yet extensive publication gathering more than 100 photographs of coats of arms collected in France, as well as elsewhere in Europe, during the summer of 2025. This curatorial work marks the beginning of my DSAA diploma project and my dissertation at ENSAAMA, both dedicated to this same theme. The investigation explores how these symbols appear across different media, using a range of techniques: embroidery, stained glass, engraving, stone, wood… Each spread thus connects a context, a technique, a material, and a coat of arms.
