This work captures the invisible instant before a destiny becomes irreversible: the suspended moment in which a possibility transforms into a force.
Momentum does not represent the fall itself, but the birth of the movement that will lead toward it.
It explores the fragile threshold where Lucifer, still bearing the light within his name, has not yet become the fallen angel, yet a new current has already begun to move through him.
In Christian tradition, Lucifer is often associated with the figure of the angel who turns away from the divine order. Alongside other fallen figures such as Samael, Azazel, and Belial, he embodies the archetype of a consciousness confronted with the possibility of separation.
The work does not depict betrayal as an external act, but as an interior event: the imperceptible moment when a thought, a desire, or a force gains enough intensity to alter the direction of existence.
Before envy becomes conscious, before rebellion is named, before the fall is visible, there exists a hidden movement within the soul. A force that acts before it is understood.
This is the meaning of Momentum: the instant where the future begins to move.
Like a physical force that gives direction to an object, this spiritual momentum represents the accumulation of invisible impulses, desires, and tensions that eventually transform possibility into reality.
Placed between two destinies, Lucifer stands at the threshold between unity and separation, contemplation and desire, devotion and self-creation. He is not yet darkness, but the last instant before light begins to turn away from its source.
Where the Seraphim contemplate the divine flame and dissolve into love, Lucifer contemplates the same flame and encounters the temptation to possess what he once only admired.
Momentum is a meditation on the mystery of choice: the fragile point where a single movement of consciousness can reshape an entire universe.

In the dead of night, I discovered my inner sun.
乾 Qian embodies the primordial force of what has yet to reveal itself: an energy gathering within the body before finding its form, an invisible impulse seeking its passage into the world.
It calls to be awakened, affirmed, and carried beyond the limits of the self.
Gold catches its radiance. Red bears its heat. Black shelters the depth from which it rises.
The dragon becomes the emblem of this ascending force, suspended between emergence and transcendence. I
ts ascent carries within it the promise of power, yet also the peril of excess: to rise is to approach the celestial, but to forget the ground is to lose one's centre.
The mask becomes a threshold between intention and manifestation. What is imagined enters the object; what is worn begins to reshape the one who wears it. The gaze activates the image, and the image returns to the body as a renewed possibility of self.
The inner sun is the force through which the invisible energy entrusted to us by the universe finds its way into the visible world.

Somewhere between intimacy and vulnerability.
咸 Xian belongs to the realm of influence, attraction and resonance, to the subtle movement through which one presence begins to affect another. In the Yi Jing, it evokes the mysterious passage through which one being becomes receptive to another.
The Chinese notion of 感 gǎn, closely related to this field of meaning, carries the sense of being moved, affected, or inwardly touched. The word opens a question that extends beyond physical contact:
what does it feel like to be touched by something we cannot entirely possess or comprehend?
Perhaps intimacy begins precisely there, in the uncertain space between openness and self-preservation. To approach another is to risk being changed by their presence. To remain protected is to preserve the possibility of remaining oneself.
In the world of the Yi Jing, and in the philosophical currents of the Warring States period, the relation between self and other was explored through movement, receptivity and transformation rather than fixed boundaries.
Within the logic of 咸, attraction is less a fixed state than a circulation of influence, a movement whose effects may be felt before they can be named.
The work remains suspended within this ambiguity.
Is vulnerability the consequence of intimacy, or its condition?

The Dioscuri

Exploring Castor and Pollux as two conditions of the same existence.
Castor and Pollux, the Dioscuri, are twin brothers born from different fathers: Castor, mortal son of Tyndareus, and Pollux, divine son of Zeus. Their shared birth and extraordinary bond make them one of the most enduring figures of fraternity and duality in Greek mythology.
Castor belongs to the physical world. His body is subject to time, vulnerability and death.
Pollux carries another condition: as the son of Zeus, he possesses an immortality that places him beyond the ordinary limits of the human body.
When Castor dies, Pollux refuses to continue without him. He chooses to share his immortality, transforming their separation into a shared existence between two realms.
The myth then becomes a meditation on what inhabits us beyond the body.
中孚 Zhong Fu, the 61st hexagram of the Yi Jing, is associated with inner truth, sincerity and the invisible forces that bind one thing to another. Placed alongside the Dioscuri, it introduces a distinction between two dimensions of the self.
There is the embodied self, bound to flesh, sensation, memory and time.
And there is the transcendent self, the part that observes, imagines, remembers and reaches beyond the immediate limits of physical existence.
Castor and Pollux can be understood through this tension. One gives form to the mortal condition. The other suggests what might remain when the body reaches its limits.
Their story invites us inward, toward the coexistence of what is destined to disappear and what continues to seek permanence.
What remains when the body becomes finite?
Perhaps the answer lies in the relationship between physical existence and the consciousness that inhabits it.
The Dioscuri become two figures of a single human mystery: to exist as matter, while carrying within oneself something that constantly reaches beyond it.

There is an expression I heard as a child in Côte d’Ivoire:
“When an egg runs into a wall, it has decided to die.”
I have carried this image with me ever since.
It does not attack it, nor does it need to defend itself; it simply remains what it is.
This is the archetype of the particular state of power I am exploring here.
大壯 Da Zhuang, the Great Power, evokes a force reaching its fullness. Within the Yi Jing, strength is inseparable from the question of how it is carried, directed and contained.
There are presences that carry no intention of harm, yet possess a nature that cannot be approached without consequence. Their gentleness is real. So is the force beneath it. The danger begins in the moment we mistake one for the absence of the other.
In the painted face traditions of Chinese opera, blue can be associated with courage, determination, strength and an untamed character. Here, these qualities enter a quieter register, where force becomes almost indistinguishable from serenity.The work considers this delicate misunderstanding: the tendency to read softness as an invitation, calm as weakness, and beauty as something without resistance.
Perhaps the danger is never in what comes toward us, but in what we choose to approach without understanding.
The wall does not need to become violent for the egg to break.

Radiance
離 Li
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
What kind of power can exist only by giving itself away?
In the Yi Jing, 離 Li is associated with Fire, brightness, illumination and the sun. The character also carries the meaning of adhering, clinging, depending upon something. This paradox is central to its symbolism: fire has no permanent form of its own. It becomes visible through what it touches. Its radiance depends upon the very substance that allows it to burn.
Li is luminous through relation.
The 30th hexagram is formed by Li above Li, Fire repeated as Fire. Its ancient Image speaks of “brightness rising twice”, followed by the figure of the Great Person extending this brightness to illuminate the four quarters of the world. In later commentaries, this double brightness can also be associated with the clarity of the ruler, whose radiance extends beyond himself.
It is this archetype that I explore in this work: an inner clarity becoming an outward force, a presence whose radiance alters the space around it.
Radiance becomes a form of influence. It propagates without abandoning its source, enters perception, and transforms what surrounds it. What appears as multiplication can therefore be understood as propagation, a singular force extending through several manifestations.
The deeper paradox of Li remains: the light that appears most autonomous is also dependent upon relation. Its power exists through what it encounters.

The Theatre of Becoming
同人 Tong Ren
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
In traditional Chinese thought, existence is understood through continual transformation. Positions change, relationships shift, forces alternate, and what appears stable is already moving toward another state.
This principle lies at the heart of the Yi Jing, whose sixty-four hexagrams describe configurations of change rather than fixed identities. Each hexagram is constructed through six lines, divided into two trigrams, creating a visual language in which the arrangement itself carries meaning. The geometry becomes a way of giving form to transformation.
同人 Tong Ren, the 13th hexagram, is commonly translated as Fellowship with Others. It concerns the possibility of existing among others while participating in something larger than the individual.
This work explores this vision of the Yi Jing: the individual as a configuration within a larger field of relationships, continuously shaped by what surrounds it. The geometric structure becomes an echo of this principle, allowing form itself to suggest an order in which individual elements remain distinct while belonging to a greater whole.
This also resonates with the traditional importance of ritual. In Chinese thought, ritual gives form to relationships, positions and transitions. A person enters a role and, through inhabiting it, participates in an order that exceeds the individual.
Theatre emerges from this same tension between the person and the role, the individual and the collective, the visible character and the deeper order it embodies
A mask can therefore become a temporary configuration of the self. A role can reveal a possibility of being that remained invisible outside it. Identity becomes something experienced through successive states rather than something permanently possessed.
This is the archetype I explore in this work: the human being as a participant in a theatre of continuous becoming, moving through identities while remaining part of a larger order.
The theatre is ultimately a model of existence itself: a succession of encounters, positions and transformations through which identity continually reorganises itself.

Great Possession
大有 Dà Yǒu
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
In the Yi Jing, 大有 Dà Yǒu, the fourteenth hexagram, describes a state of great possession, abundance and fullness. Its meaning reaches beyond material wealth toward the condition of holding something in great measure, and the responsibility that accompanies such power.
Its structure places Li, Fire, above Qian, Heaven. Fire illuminates what lies beneath it, while Heaven represents the great creative force. Their union produces an image of power becoming visible, of strength accompanied by clarity. The ancient Image of the hexagram describes fire high in the heavens, illuminating what lies below.
The lower trigram, 乾 Qian, carries a particular significance here. Associated with Heaven, creative force and primordial strength, Qian is also deeply connected with the symbolic figure of the dragon within the broader tradition of the Yi Jing. The dragon embodies a force capable of ascending, transforming and moving between different states of existence.
In 大有, this force enters another condition. It is no longer simply the energy of emergence. It has reached a state of fullness, visibility and influence.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the sovereign force: a primordial power that has reached its fullness and becomes capable of gathering, ordering and illuminating everything within its field.
The surrounding figures belong to this same field. Their stillness suggests the suspended presence of actors waiting beyond the visible scene, each occupying a position within a larger order. Their relationship to the centre recalls the structure of a theatre, where individual presences acquire meaning through their position within the whole.
The dragon can therefore be understood here as more than an emblem of strength. It becomes the figure of creative power once it has acquired a centre. Its force no longer disperses. It establishes a field around itself.
This is where 大有 departs from simple possession. What is possessed is also what must be held, directed and transmitted. The Yi Jing associates great possession with clarity, right position and the capacity to distinguish what should be restrained from what should be cultivated.
The mirror extends this condition into another plane of perception. Presence becomes doubled without becoming divided. The central force appears to inhabit more than one order simultaneously, as though the world itself had become part of its manifestation.
大有 describes a moment when power ceases to belong entirely to the one who carries it. It becomes a field, a constellation, an order through which other presences find their place.

The Encounter
姤 Gòu
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
Some encounters enter our lives before we understand what they have come to change.
In the Yi Jing, 姤 Gòu, the 44th hexagram, describes a sudden encounter with something that enters the field of perception unexpectedly. The ancient commentaries associate it with a powerful feminine presence whose appearance may seem singular or alluring, while carrying a force that should not be underestimated.
The character 姤 belongs to a semantic field of encounter, meeting and coming into contact. Yet the hexagram introduces an essential ambiguity: what approaches us may appear delicate while possessing the capacity to alter the entire configuration around it.
Its lower trigram is 乾 Qian, Heaven, associated with creative force and the generative principle. Above it stands 巽 Xun, Wind, an invisible force that penetrates, moves through spaces and acts without imposing a visible form upon them.
The encounter therefore takes place between what is immense and what is subtle, what possesses form and what enters through its absence.
This is the archetype the artist explores in this work: the seductive presence, whose apparent fragility conceals an influence capable of penetrating the world around it.
The whiteness of the figure carries another layer within Chinese symbolic traditions. White belongs to the sphere of Metal, the West and autumn, and in traditional opera facial painting it can also signify cunning, calculation and duplicity. The apparent innocence of white therefore contains another possibility: the ability to conceal intention beneath appearance.
The figure becomes a meditation on seduction as a form of power. Seduction does not require force. It operates through attraction, suggestion and the suspension of judgment. It enters perception before the mind has decided whether to welcome or resist it.
In this sense, 姤 describes a particular form of transformation: the moment when the other enters our world and, simply by being encountered, begins to reorganise it.
The encounter is never entirely external. What arrives from outside activates something already capable of responding within us.
The most elusive forms of power may be those that never announce themselves as power.

Modesty
謙 Qiān
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
In the Yi Jing, 謙 Qiān describes a force that chooses not to place itself above the world.
The 15th hexagram is traditionally associated with modesty, humility and the lowering of what is high. Its deeper meaning reaches beyond a moral virtue. 謙 describes a principle of equilibrium: what is elevated returns toward the ground, what is full makes room, and what possesses strength does not need to constantly declare it.
Its structure places Earth above Mountain. The mountain represents what rises, what stands firm and visible. Earth covers it, receives it and extends beyond it. The highest point becomes concealed within the larger field.
This relationship gives 謙 its particular character. Strength does not disappear. It becomes quiet.
The Yi Jing repeatedly associates this condition with harmony and continuity. The humble position is not an absence of power, but a way of preventing power from becoming excessive. What bends can remain intact. What leaves space for others can continue to grow.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the contained force: a presence whose power remains beneath the surface, choosing growth, equilibrium and quiet persistence over domination.
The green of the work can be understood through this principle of emergence. It suggests something alive, still developing, whose potential has not yet reached its final form. The force remains close to the earth from which it comes.
Within traditional Chinese cosmology, this movement toward the ground carries a particular significance. Heaven rises; Earth receives. The mountain stands between them. 謙 occupies the moment in which what has risen accepts the necessity of returning, settling and becoming part of a greater order.
There is also something deeply political in this archetype. A ruler, a sage or a powerful being does not demonstrate strength through permanent elevation. True authority can reside in the ability to lower oneself without becoming diminished.
The work therefore approaches modesty as a form of intelligence. It explores a presence that does not need to reveal its entire potential in order to possess it.
The highest form of power may be the power that knows when to remain beneath the surface.

Dispersion
渙 Huàn
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
In the Yi Jing, 渙 Huàn, the 59th hexagram, is associated with dispersion, dissolution and the breaking apart of what has become fixed. Its imagery evokes something that loses its cohesion and begins to spread outward, like ice melting into water or wind dispersing what was once gathered in a single place.
The hexagram is composed of 巽 Xùn, Wind, above 坎 Kǎn, Water. Both trigrams describe forms of movement that resist containment. Wind passes through things without remaining in one place. Water flows around obstacles, changing its form according to the terrain it encounters.
Together, they create an archetype of dissolution through movement.
What was once perceived as a stable identity begins to lose its boundaries. The figure remains present, yet becomes increasingly difficult to grasp as a single, definitive presence.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the dispersed self: an identity whose boundaries dissolve as it moves between visibility and disappearance, presence and absence, form and atmosphere.
This state carries a particular ambiguity. Dispersion can represent loss, but it can also represent liberation. A fixed form possesses definition because its boundaries hold it together. When those boundaries dissolve, another possibility appears: the self becomes capable of occupying several states at once.
This is where 渙 becomes particularly relevant to the question of illusion. The illusion does not necessarily originate from deception. It emerges because perception depends upon boundaries. When those boundaries become unstable, the mind attempts to reconstruct a coherent figure from something that no longer remains entirely coherent.
The Yi Jing associates 渙 with the dissolution of separation. What has become divided can be brought back into circulation. The same movement that disperses can therefore also reconnect.
The archetype becomes one of transformation through loss of definition. Identity is temporarily released from its fixed contour and allowed to enter another state.
The figure seems to disappear because it is no longer entirely contained within itself.
Dispersion becomes a passage between identities, a moment in which the self loses its certainty in order to become capable of another form.

This work captures the invisible instant before a destiny becomes irreversible: the suspended moment in which a possibility transforms into a force.
Momentum does not represent the fall itself, but the birth of the movement that will lead toward it.
It explores the fragile threshold where Lucifer, still bearing the light within his name, has not yet become the fallen angel, yet a new current has already begun to move through him.
In Christian tradition, Lucifer is often associated with the figure of the angel who turns away from the divine order. Alongside other fallen figures such as Samael, Azazel, and Belial, he embodies the archetype of a consciousness confronted with the possibility of separation.
The work does not depict betrayal as an external act, but as an interior event: the imperceptible moment when a thought, a desire, or a force gains enough intensity to alter the direction of existence.
Before envy becomes conscious, before rebellion is named, before the fall is visible, there exists a hidden movement within the soul. A force that acts before it is understood.
This is the meaning of Momentum: the instant where the future begins to move.
Like a physical force that gives direction to an object, this spiritual momentum represents the accumulation of invisible impulses, desires, and tensions that eventually transform possibility into reality.
Placed between two destinies, Lucifer stands at the threshold between unity and separation, contemplation and desire, devotion and self-creation. He is not yet darkness, but the last instant before light begins to turn away from its source.
Where the Seraphim contemplate the divine flame and dissolve into love, Lucifer contemplates the same flame and encounters the temptation to possess what he once only admired.
Momentum is a meditation on the mystery of choice: the fragile point where a single movement of consciousness can reshape an entire universe.
Revolution
革 Gé
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
Where an existing state can no longer remain intact.
In the Yi Jing, 革 Gé, the 49th hexagram, describes revolution, renewal and the shedding of an established condition. The character itself refers to hide or leather, evoking the removal of an outer layer so that another state may emerge.
The hexagram brings together 兌 Duì, Lake, above 離 Lí, Fire, creating a tension between mutable appearance and transformative force.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of metamorphosis: the instant in which one identity relinquishes its former configuration and enters another.
The chromatic treatment embodies this threshold. Two distinct states appear to converge, yet the precise moment at which one ceases to be itself and the other begins remains impossible to determine.
This imperceptible interval is the heart of the work: the fraction of an instant in which transformation has already occurred, while perception is still searching for the moment it happened.
The flower extends this idea. Within Chinese cultural symbolism, it evokes emergence, transience and transformation. Its opening suggests how an entire state of being can unfold almost instantaneously.
The mask becomes the site of this passage, where appearance gradually ceases to represent transformation and becomes transformation itself.

This work captures the invisible instant before a destiny becomes irreversible: the suspended moment in which a possibility transforms into a force.
Momentum does not represent the fall itself, but the birth of the movement that will lead toward it.
It explores the fragile threshold where Lucifer, still bearing the light within his name, has not yet become the fallen angel, yet a new current has already begun to move through him.
In Christian tradition, Lucifer is often associated with the figure of the angel who turns away from the divine order. Alongside other fallen figures such as Samael, Azazel, and Belial, he embodies the archetype of a consciousness confronted with the possibility of separation.
The work does not depict betrayal as an external act, but as an interior event: the imperceptible moment when a thought, a desire, or a force gains enough intensity to alter the direction of existence.
Before envy becomes conscious, before rebellion is named, before the fall is visible, there exists a hidden movement within the soul. A force that acts before it is understood.

The Defiant
乾 Qián
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
When opposition ends, what remains is the force of the self.
Following 震 Zhèn, this work carries the same chromatic tension into another condition. The antagonism that previously existed between forces becomes an internal source of strength, transforming separation into self-assertion.
In the Yi Jing, 乾 Qián, the first hexagram, represents Heaven, creative force, initiative and the continuous movement of what generates itself. Its energy is active, uncompromising and inherently expansive.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the defiant self: a force that recognises its own nature and refuses to be reduced, contained or defined by another.
The same red and blue now acquire another meaning. Their tension no longer describes a relationship reaching its end. It becomes the coexistence of contrasting qualities within a single presence: heat and distance, impulse and control, vulnerability and strength.
The defiance is therefore neither aggression nor rebellion for its own sake. It is the preservation of an essential nature.
The Shock separates. The Defiant remains.

噬嗑 Shì Kè
Mars Gradivus
19 x 33 cm (x2)
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
Transformation begins where an existing state can no longer remain intact.
In the Yi Jing, 噬嗑 Shì Kè, the 21st hexagram, describes the force required to overcome an obstruction and restore movement. Its imagery evokes the act of biting through what stands in the way, creating a passage where resistance has accumulated.
The hexagram brings together 震 Zhèn, Thunder, above 離 Lí, Fire, creating a tension between sudden force and transformative intensity.
Mars Gradivus, the ancient Roman epithet of Mars meaning “he who advances,” offers a parallel archetype of force in motion. Through Aries, Mars embodies the impulse that confronts resistance and forces passage; through Scorpio, it represents the deeper power of rupture, regeneration and irreversible change. Together, these two faces of Mars describe transformation as both an act of will and a passage through destruction toward another state of being.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of metamorphosis: the instant in which one identity relinquishes its former configuration and enters another.
The chromatic treatment embodies this threshold. Two distinct states appear to converge, yet the precise moment at which one ceases to be itself and the other begins remains impossible to determine.
This imperceptible interval is the heart of the work: the fraction of an instant in which transformation has already occurred, while perception is still searching for the moment it happened.
The mask becomes the site of this passage, where appearance gradually ceases to represent transformation and becomes transformation itself.

The Shock
震 Zhèn
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
Forces reveal themselves through opposition.
In the Yi Jing, 震 Zhèn, the 51st hexagram, is associated with Thunder, sudden movement and the shock that disturbs an established order. Yet its deeper force can also be understood through the tension between opposing energies, each following its own nature.
The hexagram is formed by 震 Zhèn above 震 Zhèn, Thunder doubled. Its repetition intensifies the idea of an encounter in which energy cannot remain dormant. Something is set into motion, and the relationship between forces reaches a point from which it cannot return to its former state.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of immutable antagonism: two forces brought into relation by their very difference, whose encounter ultimately leads toward separation.
The red and blue embody this tension as two distinct states of energy. One advances through heat and impulse, the other through distance and resistance. Their opposition does not require hatred. It belongs to their nature.
The shock therefore becomes less an act of destruction than the instant in which coexistence reaches its limit. What was once held together becomes impossible to sustain.
There are relationships whose end does not come from betrayal or failure. They end because two forces have reached the furthest point at which their natures can coexist.
The Shock is the moment when difference becomes separation.

Géométries de l’Invisible
Geometries of the Invisible
56 x 100 cm (x3)
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
This work invites contemplation on the Inner Alchemy Of Existence: the silent process through which the human being turns the weight of experience into the substance of becoming.
From the primal experience of birth, the first separation from the infinite state of being, human existence begins through transformation. Entering the world is already an encounter with limitation, vulnerability, and change. Throughout life, each individual continues this journey through moments of rupture, loss, revelation, and renewal.
These experiences arrive beyond anticipation, carrying meanings that are often hidden until time reveals their place within a greater composition.
What first appears as an interruption may become a necessary passage; what appears as a wound may contain the possibility of transformation.
Like the archetype of the Alchemist seeking to transmute matter, the human being undergoes an inner process through which experience is refined into consciousness.
Pain, memory, and adversity become not merely events endured, but elements of a deeper transformation.
Acceptance is the awakening of an inner intelligence capable of listening to the language of existence.
Through what happens to us, destiny reveals itself as a silent dialogue, a form through which the invisible expresses its movement.
The alchemical work of the self is not to escape darkness, but to discover the hidden substance within it.
Every experience becomes a material through which consciousness is shaped, expanded, and transformed.
We do not choose every element of our path, but we carry the Alchemical Responsibility of transforming what is given to us into what we are called to become.
A meditation on destiny as a sacred language, and on acceptance as the force that allows existence to reveal its deeper meaning.

Every experience becomes a material through which consciousness is shaped, expanded, and transformed.
We do not choose every element of our path, but we carry the Alchemical Responsibility of transforming what is given to us into what we are called to become.
A meditation on destiny as a sacred language, and on acceptance as the force that allows existence to reveal its deeper meaning.

This work invites contemplation on the Inner Alchemy Of Existence: the silent process through which the human being turns the weight of experience into the substance of becoming.
From the primal experience of birth, the first separation from the infinite state of being, human existence begins through transformation. Entering the world is already an encounter with limitation, vulnerability, and change. Throughout life, each individual continues this journey through moments of rupture, loss, revelation, and renewal.
These experiences arrive beyond anticipation, carrying meanings that are often hidden until time reveals their place within a greater composition.
What first appears as an interruption may become a necessary passage; what appears as a wound may contain the possibility of transformation.
Like the archetype of the Alchemist seeking to transmute matter, the human being undergoes an inner process through which experience is refined into consciousness.
Pain, memory, and adversity become not merely events endured, but elements of a deeper transformation.
Acceptance is the awakening of an inner intelligence capable of listening to the language of existence.
Through what happens to us, destiny reveals itself as a silent dialogue, a form through which the invisible expresses its movement.
The alchemical work of the self is not to escape darkness, but to discover the hidden substance within it.
Every experience becomes a material through which consciousness is shaped, expanded, and transformed.
We do not choose every element of our path, but we carry the Alchemical Responsibility of transforming what is given to us into what we are called to become.

This work captures the invisible instant before a destiny becomes irreversible: the suspended moment in which a possibility transforms into a force.
Momentum does not represent the fall itself, but the birth of the movement that will lead toward it.
It explores the fragile threshold where Lucifer, still bearing the light within his name, has not yet become the fallen angel, yet a new current has already begun to move through him.
In Christian tradition, Lucifer is often associated with the figure of the angel who turns away from the divine order. Alongside other fallen figures such as Samael, Azazel, and Belial, he embodies the archetype of a consciousness confronted with the possibility of separation.
The work does not depict betrayal as an external act, but as an interior event: the imperceptible moment when a thought, a desire, or a force gains enough intensity to alter the direction of existence.
Before envy becomes conscious, before rebellion is named, before the fall is visible, there exists a hidden movement within the soul. A force that acts before it is understood.
This is the meaning of Momentum: the instant where the future begins to move.
Like a physical force that gives direction to an object, this spiritual momentum represents the accumulation of invisible impulses, desires, and tensions that eventually transform possibility into reality.
Placed between two destinies, Lucifer stands at the threshold between unity and separation, contemplation and desire, devotion and self-creation. He is not yet darkness, but the last instant before light begins to turn away from its source.
Where the Seraphim contemplate the divine flame and dissolve into love, Lucifer contemplates the same flame and encounters the temptation to possess what he once only admired.
Momentum is a meditation on the mystery of choice: the fragile point where a single movement of consciousness can reshape an entire universe.

The Sovereign Step
履 Lǚ
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
Grace is the discipline of knowing how to carry power.
In the Yi Jing, 履 Lǚ, the 10th hexagram, is traditionally associated with treading, conduct and the careful movement through a world of unequal forces. Its ancient image evokes the act of walking in the presence of what is greater, requiring awareness, restraint and composure.
The character 履 carries the meanings of walking, treading and conduct. It suggests that every step is also an expression of one's position within the world.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the sovereign presence: a figure whose authority resides in composure, dignity and the precise control of every gesture.
The sovereign does not need to demonstrate power through force. Power becomes visible through posture, distance and the ability to remain composed in the presence of opposing forces.
Within 履, grace is inseparable from awareness. To tread carefully is to understand the consequences of one's position, to recognise what surrounds the self and to move without surrendering one's centre.
The royal figure therefore becomes an embodiment of measured authority. Every movement carries intention. Every gesture establishes a relation between the individual and the order surrounding them.
The sovereign step is the moment when movement becomes presence, and presence becomes authority.

This work captures the invisible instant before a destiny becomes irreversible: the suspended moment in which a possibility transforms into a force.
Momentum does not represent the fall itself, but the birth of the movement that will lead toward it.
It explores the fragile threshold where Lucifer, still bearing the light within his name, has not yet become the fallen angel, yet a new current has already begun to move through him.
In Christian tradition, Lucifer is often associated with the figure of the angel who turns away from the divine order. Alongside other fallen figures such as Samael, Azazel, and Belial, he embodies the archetype of a consciousness confronted with the possibility of separation.
The work does not depict betrayal as an external act, but as an interior event: the imperceptible moment when a thought, a desire, or a force gains enough intensity to alter the direction of existence.
Before envy becomes conscious, before rebellion is named, before the fall is visible, there exists a hidden movement within the soul. A force that acts before it is understood.
This is the meaning of Momentum: the instant where the future begins to move.
Like a physical force that gives direction to an object, this spiritual momentum represents the accumulation of invisible impulses, desires, and tensions that eventually transform possibility into reality.
Placed between two destinies, Lucifer stands at the threshold between unity and separation, contemplation and desire, devotion and self-creation. He is not yet darkness, but the last instant before light begins to turn away from its source.
Where the Seraphim contemplate the divine flame and dissolve into love, Lucifer contemplates the same flame and encounters the temptation to possess what he once only admired.

The Unfathomed
坎 Kǎn
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
In the Yi Jing, 坎 Kǎn, the 29th hexagram, is associated with Water, depth, danger and the passage through what remains beyond control. Its image evokes a descent into a reality where familiar points of orientation begin to disappear.
坎 is formed by 坎 above 坎, Water doubled. The repetition intensifies the experience of depth, creating a movement through successive layers of uncertainty. One does not simply encounter an obstacle. One enters a condition that demands awareness, endurance and trust in what cannot yet be seen.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the unfathomed: a presence whose depth cannot be measured, whose nature remains partially concealed from perception.
The mystical dimension of 坎 lies precisely in this suspension between revelation and concealment. What remains hidden acquires a particular force because perception continues to search for what lies beyond the visible surface.
The mask becomes a threshold into this unknown interior. It protects, conceals and transforms at the same time. Behind it, identity becomes less certain, allowing another possibility of being to emerge.
In the logic of the Yi Jing, passing through danger is also a form of transformation. Water does not confront an obstacle through resistance alone. It moves around it, enters its contours and continues its course.
The unfathomed is the depth that remains open, inviting the self to enter without knowing what waits below.

Great Accumulation
大畜 Dà Chù
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
Some forces become powerful through what they learn to contain.
In the Yi Jing, 大畜 Dà Chù, the 26th hexagram, describes great accumulation, the gathering and cultivation of force before its release. It evokes a power that has acquired enough substance to remain contained without becoming diminished.
Its structure brings together 艮 Gèn, Mountain, above 乾 Qián, Heaven. The image suggests an immense creative force held beneath a principle of stillness. Heaven continues to generate, while the Mountain contains and gives direction to what is gathering within it.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of contained power: a presence whose strength resides in its capacity to accumulate, preserve and govern its own intensity.
The mask becomes an instrument of concentration. It holds something that exceeds its visible form, transforming restraint into a form of authority. What remains contained is not inactive. It is preparing itself.
大畜 also carries the idea of cultivation. Force becomes meaningful through discipline, knowledge and the ability to wait for the appropriate moment. Accumulation is therefore a temporal process, where potential gains density through patience.
The work considers the moment before expansion, when power has already become perceptible while remaining entirely under control.
What is held in silence can become the greatest source of force.

D'Artifices
花火 Huāhuǒ
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.

Some forms of brilliance exist only for an instant.
In Chinese, 花火 Huāhuǒ literally evokes the image of flowers of fire, a poetic expression associated with fireworks. Light emerges suddenly from darkness, expands into colour and disappears almost as quickly as it appeared.
The image carries a particular tension between permanence and ephemerality. What is rare derives part of its intensity from its brevity.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the fleeting spectacle: a presence whose brilliance emerges momentarily, transforming perception before returning to darkness.
The work's chromatic effervescence evokes this brief eruption of light. Beneath it, the refined silhouette remains composed, creating a tension between restraint and exuberance, permanence and disappearance.
This duality also resonates with 大過 Dà Guò, the 28th hexagram of the Yi Jing, traditionally associated with excess, pressure and a condition in which something exceeds the structure capable of containing it.
Here, excess becomes luminous. It appears as an extraordinary concentration of energy, colour and presence before dissipating.
Like a firework, the rarest forms of beauty may exist precisely because they cannot remain.

The Distant Gaze
睽 Kuí
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
n the Yi Jing, 睽 Kuí, the 38th hexagram, is associated with opposition, divergence and the coexistence of perspectives that cannot fully meet. It describes a condition in which two beings may remain connected while perceiving the world from fundamentally different positions.
The character 睽 carries the sense of separation, estrangement and looking in different directions. Its tension lies in the distance between what is seen and what is understood.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the misunderstood presence: a figure whose distance is not absence, but a state of being that remains partially inaccessible to those who observe it.
The distant gaze becomes a form of grace. It does not demand recognition or attempt to resolve the space between the self and the other. It remains suspended beyond immediate comprehension, preserving something that cannot be entirely translated into another person's perception.
Within 睽, difference does not necessarily lead to conflict. Two perspectives can diverge while each retains its own integrity. The misunderstanding emerges from the limits of perception itself.
The figure therefore occupies a delicate space between presence and distance, visibility and opacity, intimacy and irreducible otherness.
Some forms of grace remain precisely where understanding can no longer reach.

Le Maître des Clefs
師 Shī
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
Some thresholds can only be crossed by those who know how to open them.
In the Yi Jing, 師 Shī, the 7th hexagram, is associated with the army, disciplined force and the organisation of collective power. Its underlying principle concerns the gathering of strength under a precise direction, where power acquires meaning through discipline, responsibility and command.
Its structure places 坤 Kūn, Earth, above 坎 Kǎn, Water. Beneath the apparent stability of Earth, Water remains in motion, suggesting a force that can be contained, directed and released when the circumstances require it.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the master of keys: the one who possesses access to what remains inaccessible to others, who knows which threshold to open, which passage to protect and which secret to preserve.
The key becomes an archetype of knowledge and authority. It does not impose itself through force. It grants or withholds passage. To possess the key is to understand that every opening creates a new condition, and that every threshold separates one state of existence from another.
The figure of the master of keys appears across cultures in different forms: guardian of sacred gates, keeper of forbidden chambers, custodian of hidden knowledge, intermediary between visible and invisible worlds. The archetype carries an essential ambiguity. The one who protects the threshold also determines who may cross it.
Within 師, strength is organised around a centre. The master does not need to display the entire extent of what is held. Authority emerges through restraint, discernment and the ability to act at the precise moment.
The mask becomes a seal of this authority, transforming identity into an instrument of passage. What lies behind it remains inaccessible until the appropriate key is found.
The Master of Keys stands at the threshold between what is known and what is waiting to be revealed.

The Hierophant belongs to the ancient archetype of the guardian of sacred knowledge: the one who stands between the visible world and what remains concealed from ordinary perception. In the Greek religious tradition, the Hierophant was the highest-ranking officiant of the Eleusinian Mysteries, entrusted with revealing sacred realities to those admitted into the rite.
In the Yi Jing, 師 Shī, the 7th hexagram, is associated with the army, disciplined force and the organisation of collective power. Its deeper principle concerns the capacity to gather forces under a defined order and to place them in service of something greater than the individual.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the Hierophant as guardian of consciousness: a figure entrusted with the passage toward hidden knowledge, invisible forces and realities that exceed ordinary perception.
The Hierophant does not possess the invisible as an object. He inhabits the threshold through which it may become perceptible. His authority comes from his relationship with what remains concealed, from his ability to recognise what cannot yet be seen and to determine when it may be revealed.
The mask becomes a ritual interface between worlds. It conceals the individual while giving form to another presence, allowing the visible surface to become a vessel for what lies beyond it.
Across cultures, guardians of sacred knowledge have occupied this intermediate position: priest, initiate, oracle, keeper of mysteries, guardian of the temple. Their function is always connected to a boundary between what can be known and what must first be experienced.
The figure therefore becomes a custodian of the invisible, standing upright within the space between perception and revelation.
The Hierophant guards the door through which consciousness encounters what it cannot yet name.

Excess
無妄 Wú Wàng
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
In the Yi Jing, 無妄 Wú Wàng, the 25th hexagram, is associated with innocence, sincerity and action free from artificial intention. It describes a state in which the self remains aligned with what it truly is, without calculation, manipulation or hidden purpose.
The character 妄 refers to what is false, reckless or deluded, while 無妄 evokes the absence of such distortion. It suggests a state in which perception and intention are no longer separated by pretence.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the unfeigned presence: a figure whose intensity may provoke projection in the observer while remaining untouched by the intention attributed to it.
The work approaches the instability of the gaze. Before understanding a presence, the mind begins to interpret it. It assigns danger, authority, seduction or hostility according to its own expectations.
The figure therefore becomes a meditation on the distance between what is perceived and what is intended.
Within 無妄, innocence is not weakness. It is a state of inner coherence, where the individual does not need to perform an identity in order to possess one.
The mask intensifies this ambiguity. It gives the face a symbolic presence while simultaneously making intention harder to read. The observer is left confronting the limits of their own interpretation.
The Unfeigned is the presence that remains true to itself while the gaze of others invents everything around it.

EroMania
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
In Plato's Phaedrus, mania does not belong exclusively to illness or irrationality. Socrates describes forms of divine madness through which the human being is carried beyond ordinary states of consciousness. Among them is the madness of love, inspired by Eros, which he presents as one of the highest forms of divine possession.
For Plato, the encounter with beauty can disturb the established order of the soul. The beloved becomes more than an object of desire. Their presence awakens something that exceeds the immediate encounter, drawing consciousness toward a reality it had forgotten.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of EroMania: the state in which intimacy becomes so powerful that the boundary between perception, desire and consciousness begins to dissolve.
EroMania names an intimacy that exceeds ordinary measure. The closer the encounter becomes, the more difficult it becomes to preserve the distance from which the other could once be observed objectively.
The beloved enters the interior world of the observer. Desire begins to transform perception itself. What was once external becomes psychologically internal, and the presence of the other begins to alter the shape of the self.
This is where the work connects with 大過 Dà Guò, The Excess. Excess first appears as a force exceeding its container. Here, that same excess enters consciousness. The structure being overwhelmed is no longer an external form, but the boundary separating one self from another.
For Plato, this disturbance can carry a paradoxical dignity. Divine madness interrupts ordinary reason because ordinary reason is no longer sufficient to contain the experience. Love becomes a passage through which consciousness encounters something greater than its previous understanding of itself.
EroMania is the moment when intimacy becomes an altered state of consciousness.

This work captures the invisible instant before a destiny becomes irreversible: the suspended moment in which a possibility transforms into a force.
Momentum does not represent the fall itself, but the birth of the movement that will lead toward it.
It explores the fragile threshold where Lucifer, still bearing the light within his name, has not yet become the fallen angel, yet a new current has already begun to move through him.
In Christian tradition, Lucifer is often associated with the figure of the angel who turns away from the divine order. Alongside other fallen figures such as Samael, Azazel, and Belial, he embodies the archetype of a consciousness confronted with the possibility of separation.
The work does not depict betrayal as an external act, but as an interior event: the imperceptible moment when a thought, a desire, or a force gains enough intensity to alter the direction of existence.
Before envy becomes conscious, before rebellion is named, before the fall is visible, there exists a hidden movement within the soul. A force that acts before it is understood.
This is the meaning of Momentum: the instant where the future begins to move.
Like a physical force that gives direction to an object, this spiritual momentum represents the accumulation of invisible impulses, desires, and tensions that eventually transform possibility into reality.
Placed between two destinies, Lucifer stands at the threshold between unity and separation, contemplation and desire, devotion and self-creation. He is not yet darkness, but the last instant before light begins to turn away from its source.
Where the Seraphim contemplate the divine flame and dissolve into love, Lucifer contemplates the same flame and encounters the temptation to possess what he once only admired.
Momentum is a meditation on the mystery of choice: the fragile point where a single movement of consciousness can reshape an entire universe.

The Performed Self
禮 Lǐ
150 x 200 cm

(reference 0033)
In Confucian thought, 禮 lǐ refers to ritual, conduct and the forms through which human relationships become intelligible. It governs gestures, speech, posture and behaviour according to one's place within a family, a community and a larger social order.
Through these forms, the individual learns how to inhabit the world.
A child learns how to behave before a parent. A student before a teacher. A guest before a host. A lover before the beloved. Each relationship calls forth another configuration of the self.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the performed self: the identity shaped through repeated acts of conduct until the role becomes indistinguishable from the person who inhabits it.
The social mask is therefore not simply a surface of concealment. It is something learned, repeated and embodied. Through repetition, behaviour becomes instinct. What begins as a social convention gradually participates in the construction of identity itself.
Confucian thought gives this process a particular dignity. To master oneself is to learn how to conduct oneself within a network of relationships. The self becomes legible through the way it occupies its place among others.
Yet the intimacy of a relationship does not necessarily dissolve this structure. Even before those who have known us longest, we continue to inhabit positions, expectations and forms of behaviour that have become part of us.
The closer we come to another person, the more difficult the distinction can become between the role we perform and the self that has been formed through performing it.
The work therefore considers the mask as a social technology of consciousness: a structure through which identity is rehearsed, recognised and eventually internalised.
Perhaps the deepest mask is the one we no longer experience as a mask.

Point de Rupture
夬 Guài
150 x 200 cm
Fine Art pigment print mounted under matte acrylic glass on aluminium composite panel.
(reference 0033)
This work captures the invisible instant before a destiny becomes irreversible: the suspended moment in which a possibility transforms into a force.
There comes a moment when force becomes impossible to contain.
In the Yi Jing, 夬 Guài, the 43rd hexagram, describes the moment when an accumulated force reaches a decisive threshold. Its traditional imagery concerns determination, resolution and the necessity of allowing what has become excessive to break through.
Guài carries the sense of a force that has gathered enough intensity to demand expression. What has been contained can no longer remain within its previous boundaries. The breakthrough is therefore both an act of will and a consequence of accumulation.
In the traditions of Chinese opera, painted facial makeup can transform character into a visible language. Strength, courage, loyalty and heroic temperament become amplified through signs that allow the nature of a figure to precede its actions. The face becomes a surface through which inner force acquires public presence.
In this work, the artist explores the archetype of the irrepressible force: a presence whose intensity has reached the threshold where containment becomes impossible.
The work approaches excess as a state of transformation. An inner energy expands until the structure that once defined it can no longer determine its limits. At this point, power becomes visible through its capacity to exceed form.
The connection with 夬 Guài lies precisely in this passage. The decisive moment does not belong entirely to what comes before or after. It is the instant in which accumulated force crosses its threshold and becomes another condition. mask becomes the site of this passage. It gives form to an energy that has already begun to exceed the boundaries of identity.
The breakthrough is the moment when force ceases to ask for permission to become visible.
