Original artwork description:

Where is it right to gaze? On what moves you in the present? On what causes you the most suffering in the most precious moment? The gaze remains still, motionless and with no escape, while the beautiful and fragile traces of memory emerge, the flowers of the past, destined to fade, destined to disappear... but in this mad whirlwind, the gaze will find the right place and finally choose the memory to rest on, to create its own reality...

Fourth portrait from the series "The Grammar of the Gaze": the viewer is invited to pause on the threshold...

"The grammar of the gaze" is a series that explores the act of looking and being perceived. It is a story punctuated by portraits. And each portrait is a threshold suspended between the present and memory, between what has been and what is revealed. By following the minimal rules of an intimate and personal language, one preserves one's own self, constructed from a layered past and from what we wish to reveal.
