"White Dome" and "Red Bowl" installations deal with themes of man’s purification in both the physical and metaphysical dimension, and the shift from sacred to secular.
Within the ruin walls of the Saint-Barthelemy Collegiate Church, a large cupola formed by thousands of suspended SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS crystals create a rain of light, symbol of the soul’s purification by ascension to the divine. The floor is covered with cracked clay and sprouting shoots of wheat sown at random during the exhibition to embody the movement of transformation and regeneration.
