The restoration of Notre-Dame following the catastrophic fire of 2019 has led to the decision to install new stained glass windows, with French artist Claire Tabouret chosen for the task. Living in Los Angeles, Tabouret draws parallels between the destructive fires in California and the cathedral's fire, considering her work an opportunity for rebirth and a modern touch to the historic site. The project represents a blend of contemporary artistry within a monument that approaches a millennium in age, aimed at fostering a conversation about artistic transformation post-disaster.
Claire Tabouret sees her role in Notre-Dame's restoration as a unique opportunity to infuse contemporary artistry into a historic setting, a rebirth after the destructive fire.
The decision to include modern stained glass windows in the restoration reflects a desire to engage in a dialogue about transformation, blending history and modernity.
