A character falls on the beach, gets sucked into the depths. Dysfunctional objects seem to float alongside strange creatures. The statuses are ambiguous, the temporality is indefinite.

Is this an imaginary landscape, or are we in an unknown territory in the middle of archaeological remains? In this narrative space everything seems in transition just like a workshop: the shapes accumulate, meet, morph into sculptures.

«Cueillir les ombres» brings together sculptures and wall reliefs created between 2020 and 2022. Each piece addresses the question of the shifting status of objects, whatever the technique used (modeling, assembly or collection of materials). This aquatic environment references fantasized representations of the seabed, between fear and fascination - these images supported by personal stories, literature, movie sets, or photographic reports.
