Guided by a deep sensitivity to all living things<\/strong>, I am especially moved by the suffering<\/strong> that humans inflict upon Nature<\/strong>. Among all forms of life, it is the Trees<\/strong> \u2013 my lifelong fascination \u2013 that touch me the most. Rooted in place, they cannot flee danger. Their resilience is silent, steadfast. This is why the Tree holds a central place in my artistic universe. Many of my creations seek to reveal its inner states, to give it a voice, to personify it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feu Mon Arbre<\/a> (\u2018Once-a-Tree\u2019) was born in the heart of a burning summer\u2014marked by relentless heatwaves and haunted by images of wildfires devastating forests<\/strong> across the globe. These images wounded me. They stayed with me. I needed to receive them, to transform them. As so often happens, it was through working with Earth \u2013 clay \u2013 that I chose to tame this pain<\/strong>. Creating this piece became my way of giving shape to the unspeakable<\/strong>, of carrying a message: a cry of alarm<\/strong>, but also a breath of hope<\/strong>, a promise of renewal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piece speaks first through its form and colours: a tree, standing, rooted<\/strong>, still alive<\/strong>. A grey trunk \u2013 the colour of ash<\/strong>. Red branches \u2013 the colour of fire<\/strong>, or of blood<\/strong>. A tree reaching skyward, its limbs open like arms: in a gesture of welcome<\/strong>, or of plea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also speaks through its name: Feu Mon Arbre<\/a> ('Once-a-Tree'). A tree in flames. A tree no more. A tree gone \u2013 though only in appearance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above all, this work invites a silent reflection. It whispers its story<\/strong>, a poem, a suspended question<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Earth in flames, the forest scorched and bare \u2013
And yet,
from ashes, Life stirs the air.
Once-a-Tree speaks in glowing red:
Its limbs reborn where fire once spread.
A cloak
of Earth and Water, through Fire wed \u2013
Nature, in a breath, revives what\u2019s dead.\u2019<\/o-anim-typing><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
