There are places where the horse, conveyor of dreams or nightmares, is subjected to artificial sleep. From this suspended time I see the emergence of a latent, ambivalent universe, where the real merges with the imaginary.

Both attractive and repulsive, fascinating and scary. In this almost canceled time, on the verge of tipping over, the raison d'être of situations fades. The things are simply there, challenge me and touch me in their contradictory relationships and tensions.

I seek the expression of this cohabitation between gentleness and violence, in a world where nature is manipulated to the extreme, submitted (temporarily) to the hands of men.
