Of Stones and bodies

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.
