 “The sea contemplated in all its forms. In transparency, photographs of a red and disassembled sea mingle with architecture. The variations of lights increase the density or fluidity of these freezed images. 

A red sea of blood pours and ceaselessly pours its waves full of swell; whirls and whirlpools unleash the furious waves, their fallout soon forms this moving landscape that the imaginary dreamed of. 

The photomontages, made from her sea photo-videograms, stick to the windows of the skylight, at the height of the spectators. At first glance, everything is played out here on the surface: the changing states of the sea, the water openings… Surfaces? Perhaps, but then it would be necessary to tell all the substance of which they are woven, to recount the infinite metamorphoses by which these untamed forms could pass before continuing with us their convulsive sling.”
