COLLÈGE JEAN-LOUP CHRÉTIEN DE QUESTEMBERT
Still lives and living nature
Nature represents a source of life for our artworks.
Once upon a time there was a very ordinary onion.
Always rejected, spat out and lonely inside its wrinkled skin.
By placing it in a new context, we brought it back to life, giving it
a chance to be loved, in spite of itself.
When the colours blend together, the miracle of life appears.
Nature takes over and the beauty of the fruit becomes immortal.
COLLÈGE NOTRE-DAME LE MÉNIMUR DE VANNES
The renaturation
What does it mean ?
We are often caught up, drowned in the virtual world.
Let us reconnect to the nature, let us become a tree, a flower, grass.
So that they can find a home in us.
May this dream come true... above and beyond our photographs.
