Voyage en toute conscience artwork collection

From raw materials to work of art

DATE

2021 to current

For this serie, I propose an installation that raises an eternal question: our place as human beings in nature. Through my vision as an artist, I want to establish an intimate dialogue with the complex world around us.

As I wandered among the trees in the woods, my mind was put on hold, giving way to my senses and emotions. My eyes focused on the trees, particularly the dead ones, their position defying the order and verticality of their descendants. They are there, carried, supported, like a nourishing memory, or abandoned on the ground, like a memory that leaves a visible trace, like a burden that must be carried. To discover these trees remains, to get to know them, is somehow to apprehend the place of the individual within humanity.
