Simon's Story
Simon Kasha was born in New York City and raised in Paris. Always with a smile, Simon lived with great joy and a sense of adventure until he passed away at the age of ten from neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer. In his memory, his parents and sister have created the Simon Kasha Foundation.
Its first and principal project is La Maison de Simon, an artists’ residence and community arts center in the village of Fontaine-sous-Jouy, where Simon spent his weekends playing, exploring, and creating with his sister and friends.
“Art is restoration: the idea is to repair the damages that are inflicted in life, to make something that is fragmented … into something whole.”
