SOUVENIR D'ENFANCE (Childhood Memory)
- 70 x 70 cm
Her shadow stretched before her like the little girl she had been and who loved above all to offer her mother a bouquet of wild flowers that she picked in the meadow around the house. From now on she preferred to leave nature untouched, except that morning when on the path leading to the village square, this childhood memory came back to her at the sight of a large mauve carpet spotted with pale pink and bright yellow and waving in the breeze. So she had carefully picked a few strands, now gathered in one hand while the other held a field cockle whose fresh spring scent she breathed in with nostalgia.

L'IMPORTANT C'EST (What Matters Is)
- 70 x 70 cm
DISORDER: THE IMPORTANT IS... For him, the day is far from over, but the lakeside has become his favorite retreat before his long evening going from table to table selling his carefully wrapped roses one by one. As has been customary for some time, a familiar nostalgia brings him to this often deserted square just as he has just finished his first tour. With his large grocery bag and the bucket of flowers beside him, he lies down, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings. And today, seeing him in his usual posture, I wonder: the important thing is ... the laughing seagull, the telephone and its possible messages, the mist which blurs the border between the sky and the water , or only the rose?

This long strip of fine sand reveals the eventful journey of a young woman walking her still young and unruly dog. Their itinerary takes shape on this yellow ocher ribbon like an improvised choreography. Simple and white, the architecture of this seafront is reminiscent of beach cabins, in the heart of a landscape evoking the desire for a new land.
