”Voyage ou fuite” : The Desert, the Island, and the Endless Journey: A Reflection Through Art
The desert holds profound lessons for those willing to listen. To navigate its vast emptiness without losing oneself, one must assimilate its essence. Let the desert become part of your soul and mind, sharpening your hearing to discern truths beyond deceptive mirages.
Through this collection of engravings, I explore the metaphorical landscapes of dreams and existential wanderings.
The island, shimmering like an impossible dream, calls us with its seduction—an absurd mirage woven by invisible threads. Island of our dreams, cause of our downfall. Let me leave at last. Free us from your allure.
But does the journey still hold meaning? Is it possible to get lost in the poetic imaginings of distant shores, as once envisioned by poets and artists in search of a world beyond the mundane? In a time when imagination is impoverished, solitude and frenzied distractions dominate modern life.
Through these engravings—marked by metaphor and introspection—I revisit the idea of “elsewhere.” Perhaps it is not a physical place, but a fragile, mobile island born from the act of reflection itself.
Taking inspiration from Ulysses’ eternal journey, I seek to resist the looming threat of collective amnesia—the ultimate shipwreck of contemporary humanity. These works are traces of that endless search, a testament to imagination’s power to endure despite the challenges of modern existence.
