Of stones and bodies
Since 2025
My work addresses place, the imprint of time, ecology and the connection between humans and the natural or built environment.
Recomposing fragments of architecture, scraps of nature, shreds of bodies I weave links between the livings.
Series initiated during my residency at the Picasso museum in Antibes (2025).
I express states between vitality and decline, between destruction and repair, between life and death, and reflect the restorative power of the relationship between living beings, inhabited places, and natural spaces.
The connection between biodiversities offers potential for healing and mutual transformation, opening up the possibility of new life.
In these artworks, I focus on the traces of the past engraved in the walls, the confusion between rock and architectural stone, nature resembling shreds of bodies, like those evoked by Germaine Richier’s sculptures on the terrace of the Picasso museum in Antibes. I also observe the history and poetry behind walled-up windows, loopholes.
I study how mineral, vegetal, organic, and architectural flesh intertwine like memories belonging to different temporalities.
Inspired by these stigmas, I construct a narrative around the reconstruction of environmental bodies.
Through a quasi-geological process of stratification, I work to repair and suture these bodies, like a graft that restores and opens up the possibility of new life:
– The stones come together, the flesh tightens, the vegetation grows.
– The project is inscribed in a long time, a density, in the thickness of matter.
My process of creating through layers of thoughts and materials suggests the passage of time, the fictional or real history of places, and the strata that have shaped them. I explore the relationship between built environments and organic matter.
Our world needs to connect with this density, this thickness, such as that of a rock wall, because we live and act guided by images that scroll by on screens without depth.
