About the artwork

It does not scan. It doesn't run. It feels. From the muffled recesses of the undergrowth, this serpentine-tinged rabbit doesn't try to attract attention or evade it. It's there, connected. Its long ears are tuned not to noise, but to silence - to what vibrates when nothing else speaks.

This drawing was born of a desire to evoke an inner listening, a subtle power: the power to perceive without analysis, to understand without demonstration. The rabbit, an animal of alertness and shelter, embodies here a form of calm lucidity. The nuances of serpentine, a fertile retreat stone, give it that subterranean density, that protective softness that absorbs without enclosing.

Oreille du Dedans is a tribute to discreet perceptions, to slow thoughts, to fine presences that nothing disturbs because they don't seek to intervene. There is neither narration nor appeal here: just the calm presence of a being porous to the world, nestled in the diffuse light of the undergrowth.

Graphically, everything tends towards appeasement: supple lines, mineral greens, clear contours. The line does not draw an animal, but a visible interiority. A gentle spiral that we follow not with our eyes, but with our breath.

This work is for those who know that what matters is rarely said aloud, that certain silences contain more than speeches, and that sometimes all you need to do to perceive is listen from within.
