Embrasser un arbre, embrasser le temps, 2022

“In 2020, I started a cycle, without knowing it.

In February then, I danced the water and the trees in Vietnam.

At the edge of the Gulf of Thailand on the island of Phu Quoc, I disseminated myself in the China Sea.

In Ho-chi-Minh City at the Botanical Garden and in the Park near the Reunification Palace, I kissed the flamboyant trees, only witnesses to my father's departure from no return on a liner for Marseille in 1950.

In July of the same year, I dialogued with the conifers of Semnoz and the stumps of this valley through La Grande Balade in Annecy.

In July 2021, I encountered the millennial olive trees of Puglia; these monumental trees, with multiple and sculptural trunks, call to salute their power to have crossed time. »
