Eugénie Rebetez’s first creation Gina marks the beginning of her artistic career. She embodies a diva from Jura (her native region in Switzerland) in search of identity – self-assertive, full of dreams and shaped by her roots. With this tragicomic figure, the young artist invents a strong and engaging alter ego, adroitly oscillating between grace and sass, between lightness and gravity.
