Inspired by the Buddhist philosophy of the middle way as well as other mystical traditions, I create visual spaces where realities overlap each other. I try to express a certain difficulty to be in the in-between, the oscillation, the wavering.
For several years, my research has been proceeding through superposition of layers and fragmentation. These two actions allowing me to investigate two spaces simultaneously; the imaginary space and the physical space of the exhibition room. My compositions are made of squares, circles and/or triangles that seemed to be individually linked to each other but separated by a neutral space, the wall; Everything happening in the encountering, the correspondences, the missing and suggested spaces.
My research led me to explore three-dimensional “compositions” with my Migrators series, as well as installations and video. Today my work focuses on the layering of the infinitely great and the infinitesimal, using images of small animals such as sponges, and patterns found in the mystical crop circles around the world.
