MEETINGS
-Traffic story
Everything is in motion!
In this compressed time, everyday life is seen in a zany light, with exchanges and movement as games whose rules are invented in the moment.

-The Ants: My Unexpected Friends
Ants, which can sometimes be considered a nuisance, are fascinating creatures.
l'observation de leurs comportements et de leur organisation sociale. Cette expérience m'a permis de développer un profond respect pour ces créatures et de mieux comprendre leur rôle vital dans notre écosystème.
Mon projet de « Formicus artisticus » est né à ce moment-là sur la base d'une expérimentation : des sculptures comestibles faites de sucre et de sirop dévorées par les fourmis en quelques jours seulement.

MEETINGS
- free fall of pebbles
- common cranes and thrushes
- ants
My observations of certain gatherings of animals, with their elegant movements, are fascinating. It's striking to discover the similarities between the formations of various animals and those of the gravel I've tossed into the air with a shovel. The images that can be observed with a photographic eye show a certain constellation at a given moment. It's similar to the fixed observation of stars. The challenge lies in comparison in motion.

MEETINGS
-Training in the
south stone
The formations described are the result of the accumulation of shells on the seashore during the Cretaceous period, shaped by the passage of time. My sculptures accentuate the “Zahn der Zeit” and let themselves be guided by the different hardnesses of the stone. The soft limestone parts disintegrate, releasing the shells for a new formation. In this way, I draw my inspiration from nature.

The Ants:
My Unexpected Friends
Ants, which can sometimes be considered a nuisance, are fascinating creatures.
Observing their behavior and social organization opened up a whole new world for me. This experience enabled me to develop a deep respect for these creatures and a better understanding of their vital role in our ecosystem.
My “Formicus artisticus” project was born at that point, based on an experiment: edible sculptures made of sugar and syrup, devoured by ants in just a few days.
