Eighteen rainwater and ink drawings form the words Dissoudre le paysage, an equivocal formula that underpins the fragile nature of a landscape shaped (erased ?) by the hand of man, particularly around the Etang de Berre on France's southern coast, with its precarious ecological balances, and in the Landes region, which has been affected by climate change and flooding. Beams of light cut through the silky, watery texture of the navy blue and rosewood letters. The meeting of water and ink on the rice paper guides the folds and bulges of the material, which seems to expand, like fine molecular perceptions, or primitive living micro-organisms that spiritualise the floating space.
