FRANÇAIS CI-DESSOUS

This piece was inspired by the saying "finding a needle in a haystack." It reflects the difficulty of realizing one's ideal, much like searching for a needle in a vast field of grass. The scene is set at night to emphasize the challenge and uncertainty of this pursuit.


The rural nightscape is based on my own memories, and creating it brought to mind the treasure hunts I enjoyed as a child. I constructed the grassy field by weaving wires onto a mesh, a process that took about three months. To evoke the presence of fireflies, I used LED bulbs to bring a soft, glowing light to the scene.


__FRANÇAIS

Cette œuvre s'inspire du proverbe "chercher une aiguille dans une botte de foin". Elle reflète la difficulté de concrétiser un idéal, semblable à la recherche d'une aiguille dans un champ. La scène, plongée dans la nuit, accentue la notion d’incertitude et la complexité de ce défi.

Le paysage nocturne rural est issu de mes propres souvenirs, et sa création m'a rappelé les chasses au trésor de mon enfance. Le champ d'herbe a été fabriqué en tressant des fils de fer sur un treillis, un travail manuel qui m’a pris environ trois mois. Pour évoquer la présence des lucioles, j'ai utilisé des ampoules LED, apportant ainsi une lumière douce et lumineuse à la scène.
