The Palaver Tree
What if we replanted the palaver tree where we could come together to decide our destiny, what’s good for us, for the humanity we call “our fellow creatures”…

The Planetary Circus
Playing, carefree, children ecstatic at the facetiousness of the
sea lion who juggles and barks so playfully.
But the planetary circus act in which we are playing with our world may well end without applause.

The Robin
Our life as a child, characterized by happiness and light-heartedness, in harmony with nature.
An image of peace.
If we preserve this innate and ancient culture within us, we may succeed in not destroying the life and landscapes that surround us, or rather, that allow us to live.

Tempus fugit
To become an adult is to realize that our time is short. The more we grow, the more this “eternity” of our childhood diminishes.
Every birthday our counts grow (1, 2, 3,…54…) and the rest of our time decreases.
This sculpture shows this contradiction.
Mixing both, I want to remind the ambiguity of our feelings: growing up, becoming full-grown, becoming old

The shadow of regrets
When Orpheus steps out into the sunlight, at the gates of hell, he looks back and sees only the disappearance of Eurydice.
With the light that floods him, only his shadow draws the silhouette of his beloved lost forever…

Violonseul
In search of harmony, I wanted to bring together the different facets of our personalities, resulting in a cubist vision of the instrument…

Symposium Wissembourg(Fr) 2012 First Sculpture Prize
Growing and Becoming
The pride of growing, the fear of becoming.
The tape measure: In childhood, we’re proud to measure our height.
The snake: a worrisome animal. To grow, it must change its skin, symbolizing change and becoming. It evokes fear, awe of the unknown, of the future.
By blending the two, I want to evoke the ambiguity of our feelings about growing up, coming of age.

Symposium St Blasien(All) 2011
Gentle Cycle
On the outside, the rounded curves evoke softness and blossoming femininity.
But the vision is also interior. On the other side of the sculpture, we gain access to intimacy, to the protective cocoon of the maternal womb.
These two sides form the maternal cycle, from the unborn child to the woman giving birth.
This perpetual cycle is illustrated by the two interlocking circular volumes forming an infinite spiral…

The Dance of the Celestial Spheres
At the exaggerated center of our world, we forget the beauty of cosmogony.
And yet, if we take the time to stop our egocentric movement, it sometimes happens that, in front of the beauty of an immense landscape, we let ourselves be impregnated by the calm happiness of the dance of the celestial spheres…
