WALL MOSAIC, NANTUA
2014

"Spirit are you there?"
"It was necessary that this woman-fairy, in her act of donor and by the nimbus above her, be real while not being.

It is not surrounded in its drawing, quite the contrary. It appears in its immateriality, almost blending with the gold of its form which, itself, leads to mystery.

The limestone rock, which is still crumbling, is also a foundation of the beauty of where I was born."

Who Is “The Spirit of the Lake”?

“Perhaps this spirit is that of all the invisible elemental beings that inhabit every form of nature. It is also the spirit that each of us carries within ourselves for this lake.”

— La Tribune Républicaine, June 4, 2015
