Original artwork description:

A series of graphic works "I love you, Paris".
Square Île de France is a hidden sanctuary of Paris, tucked just behind the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral. Wrapped in greenery and filled with quiet, it appears to be a perfect retreat. Yet its soul reaches deeper than the beauty of its trees and light. Beneath the garden lies the Memorial to the Martyrs of the Deportation — a solemn space dedicated to 200,000 lives taken from France during World War II. The contrast between the sunlit surface and the silent depth of history gives this place its profound character.
Above, life unfolds naturally: children run and laugh, couples wander along shaded paths, and the gentle rhythm of the city drifts into the park. Below, silence reigns — a silence that preserves memory, awakens reflection, and reminds us of the fragile bond between past and present.
