Our work in Normandy follows the idea of a personal, almost literary narrative made up of images which, even though they have a life of their own, are the episode-points of an uninterrupted line that defines an organic and emotional project. It is the alternation of action and reaction, the mutual influence between our vision and that powerfully imprinted by the territory of Normandy. The interweaving of human life — in its present and past history — punctuated by that of nature, plants, animals, the sea and the tides, creates indissoluble worlds which influence each other, come together and recede in an uninterrupted chain of existences. Nature also as a "state of things" or atmosphere, captured in its archetypal Greek definition: atmós-sphere, the intangible envelope that surrounds the cosmos and microcosms, from planets to the walls of a house, making them human.
