Le Jardin du vide (garden of the void) is a mixed-medium installation that combines painting, glass blowing, plants and elements from the surrounding space. This creation emerged from a year-long series of experimental projects, inspired by the profound impact nature has had on me, bringing a sense of calm to my mind.
Poetry of the Void, the central painting, is a meditative exploration where I layered blue lines upon one another to create a large blue composition. Poetry of the Void is an ode to loneliness. It embodies the passage of time, the ever-changing seasons and the encompassing world around me. In this artistic journey, I am both an active participant and an observant spectator, finding myself amid it all. The painting draws inspiration from the grandeur of mountains, evoking a feeling of smallness and comfort within the expansive universe.
Growing Sorrows involves the delicate process of shaping glass pieces onto a suspended branch. These glass pieces serve as a metaphor for the overwhelming emotions I have experienced on my personal journey of growth and exploration. The branch on which they are resting symbolizes the knowledge and wisdom I have acquired and matured through my pivotal years as a young woman.
To further enhance the installation, plants have been incorporated, symbolizing the ongoing evolution of my perspective. They contribute to the overall meditative atmosphere and create a sense of tranquillity within the space. Collectively, these elements come together to form Le Jardin du Vide, a frozen installation of Time unravelling. It captures the essence of my experiences and reflections that have shaped me. This installation serves not only as a guide to my own personal journey through life but in return, it has brought me a real feeling of belonging and inner peace.
