mock-up work / graphic poem

I follow my research combining visual and puppetry arts to express my universe in a poetic language, without words. 
With soul mates creation trilogy, presence and inner quest at the heart of my research go further to the intimate and profound connexion between human and wild nature.

“When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.” Thich Nhât Hanh, Maître zen

I want to tell about the story of a Child’s frantic quest. Between sky, earth, wind and water, the path this child follows through barren landscapes of the unconscious takes the form of a prolonged nomad journey, followed by a great turmoil that carries them to the shores of a lake deep in the forest. In this prodigiously rich and soothing habitat, animals and plants cross paths with the Child who now finds herself in the peaceful knowledge that they are connected to something greater than self.
A journey of initiation is woven between the imagination and the beauty of the human soul, and its wild relatives – multitudes of forms and lives found in nature.
soul mates unfolds an experience of depth in the literal and figurative senses, and, more broadly, in the spiritual sense of connection to our wild soul.
