“My work questions the perception of time, the future, the present, all of which is rather dizzying. It also raises the issue of the existence of other worlds and the nature of the universe, of which we are only just beginning to develop a tentative understanding and which, akin to a fragment of utopia, exceeds the limits of our imagination.”

“The fox has always been a popular character in kids tales. I wanted to create this impression of a scene of a classic kid’s book adding my own touch and universe. I love that it could describe the beginning of a story: ‘One day a fox went out for a walk and he ran into a beautiful flower…’. The next is up to you to imagine”
