This series is about finding hope in the indefinite. 
Location: Paris - Genève
Time: 2020-2021



A curious hot winter 
At the turn of the year
Sand from the Sahara
Has come to us while we can’t fly
Blown away, it’s now pouring from above

Weeping snow
Weeping sand
Losing notion of geography
Either of the seasons

Knowing indeed
That the river floats decidedly,
Seeing only
The abstraction of its stream

Shall we rely on unfixed things
To make our present real ?
Yet, reality overpassed my imagination,
Light and colors
Like painting strokes

Statistic waves,
Roller coaster of cases,
Park us indefinitely 
On the side of a road
Being built

My body is stationary but
Everything moves around,
The invisible above all
Is motionless only in my dreams ?
Cause I do can see and feel
The seconds are running

Vague Stream

I was on the road in Australia and I followed a road sign indicating a pink lake. When I arrived there, I was so disappointed that it was not pink, just a bland color. I transposed my fade photograph into the landscape I was hoping for, shaping slowly my pink fantasy. Then, I started a series of taking a photo of the painting and paint over it with darker colors. I wanted to conduct this pink lake in another time frame, the night, and by superimposing mediums, experience myself different times of production of a same picture.
I also transposed my painting into a drawing "Puzzling Pink Lake" in a large scale made with 17 sheets of paper together. This work is about assembling parts of the abstract landscape, parts which could as well be independent of eachother. I get a feeling of the color totally different : drawing is like scratching the paper by superimposing layers with this dry medium.
