2020

Dream:
I entered a small temple, lit only by the light of the street. There were wooden benches. A friend from my childhood was waiting for me. We exchanged greetings and I walked over to a large cabinet from which I took a tray with pieces of jewelry that were covered with a dusty cotton cloth.

Work:
This summer I have been observing nature in a pond in the forest. I have been discovering treasures that slowly show up as the day progresses; the different creatures, big and small, that live in this vessel of water. I see how life transforms as the sun, moon, rain and stars arrive.
