Brave land. Seeds that spring from the wild land.

Power of the human condition.

Undaunted by what they have of mystery and, above all, because they produce of absolute fascination. A universe where everything hopes to have a name, where everything dispenses word and reason, where everything can be everything, where dreams give reality to who we are, awake or not.

A privileged link to land? Life?

It is not intended to reproduce the real.
The passage is that of a certain moment of magic. These are instants that we return to time.
The woman appears grandiose by her own size, fearless, ambiguous, denounced. It appears before our eyes as requiring contemplation.
In an immediate sense, there is the woman, quiet, mysterious so that, in the presence of a place and time that approximate the ages, the narratives, there is no fault.
This is perplexity. Dialogues.
Expectations and fears guide us and inspire us to observations, associations, comparisons, preferences.
Metaphors. Allegories.

They are not ads, notices, manifestos, proclamations … they are rehearsals.
