an oracle you question where all is 
wind(hèbèl), void(rig), dust 
(aphar). 
a shortcut of the destiny of humanity.
A world of illusions and tormented 
passions.
    "vanity of vanities, all is vanity"
pictures, screens relieved of their
emblems and objects, 
where skull alone evokes the fragile reality
and the transparency of human existence
a virtual image which still holds some
illusion in false-light. Bringing the 
appearance of a double and opaque world
an african fetish "Ekoï" vanishes and
covers the illusion of painting and the 
disappearance of matter !
ritual crest, of the passage to beyond, 
These works do not trace 
a pure idea of death, but rather
of a mutation relating to any 
knowledge and any morality.
To rejoin the idea itself of appearance
behind which nothing is to be seen.
