My work for the 'Dans les collines' exhibition explores the psychological terrain between presence and absence, certainty and doubt. Many of the pieces reflect an ongoing interest in internal conflict—how unresolved emotions, memory, and perception shape our experience of the world and of ourselves. Through layered surfaces, ambiguity in form, and shifts in tone, I aim to create spaces that hold contradiction without needing to resolve it. The Profanities series, for instance, examines how parts of ourselves that feel difficult or disruptive are often the most revealing. These works question the boundary between vulnerability and visibility, and the emotional cost of being witnessed without true understanding. Other paintings, rooted more in landscape or atmosphere, reflect on movement, transition, and the quiet tension between belonging and dislocation. Underlying much of the work is a desire to slow down perception—to invite reflection on what is emerging, fading, or quietly persisting beneath the surface. Whether pointing to frustration, renewal, or emotional suspension, each piece traces the shape of experience as it unfolds, never entirely fixed, but always deeply felt.
