After my parents' disappearance, I needed elsewhere and a change of scenery. I accepted several invitations to artist residencies in China, Algeria, Slovenia, and Spain. These trips allowed new freedom, sparked new research and a new breath. They were at the origin of several series of paintings, including Dépaysage. This displacement, while confronting me with foreign worlds and distant horizons, allowed me to renounce what could be taken for granted, exacerbated the desire to be destabilized and nourished, but also to conquer another me: stranger in me, like a hinterland that had to be found. The Dépaysage painting book expresses this harmony between interiority and exteriority. The pages are engulfed in a matter of colour, drawing an ideal space where the tension between these two poles seems to be resolved while retaining its mystery.
