Picture of the installation at Saint-Martin Bookshop Artspace of 281 archipelagos, 550 x 260 cm
The white of the porcelain as an evocation of the blue of the oceans. On one side, the archipelagos, which according to the philosopher Edouard Glissant, bring people together while the continents divide them. On the other side, the jellyfish, creatures both sublime and disturbing, of absolute elegance, strangely ecological, theoretically immortal, carried wherever the currents take them.
A clear and calm universe that rests us from the turmoil and roughness of the world.
