La Peur de Hauru

The fourth piece of the tapestry series "The Imagination of Hayao Miyazaki in Aubusson Tapestry" is a monumental creation measuring three meters high and five meters sixty wide. This scene symbolizes the fragility hidden behind the appearance of control. It illustrates the fear of losing one's identity and beauty, recurring themes in the work of Hayao Miyazaki, where characters must overcome their insecurities in order to evolve

A multitude of colors

This tapestry was created from an image from the film Howl's Moving Castle. As with the other tapestries in the series, various techniques and materials were used for its adaptation. The use of linen, which is shinier than wool, allowed for the creation of the faces, the headboard, and the metal elements. To recreate the multitude of colors present in Howl's bedroom, over 2,000 color mixtures were created.
