"Relational field" 2022

The project consists of a series of large-format works made with the intention of rethinking the landscape as a subject and presenting it in a new context. The subject and the context are marked by the idea of the destructive nature of man, which produces devastating consequences on his fellow man and on the environment.
Located most often at the confluence of the ambition to own the land and belonging to the land, war manifests its lack of substance through an infinity of manifestations, unleashing the banal, absurd, ambiguous, opaque evil that absorbs creative energies and brings nothing and the death.
Eventually, the bloody earth will cover the scars of war and shelter the bodies of the dead, but the question remains: “Are we able to maintain an ethical view of the world so that we can distinguish good from evil, or resign ourselves by eroding and depersonalizing ourselves? ”
