After Correspondance (2016-2019), Ora series unveils a second part of the artist's study on his native island.
The title ressembles a warning and alludes to the temporal factor of different mythological walks at a time when everything seems to be metamorphosing. It explores a doubly isolated territory, insular and mountainous, which, despite a reduced spatial unity, offers a form of unexpected convergence with other spaces.
Beyond a topographical and emotional survey, this study also questions the label of "an island of beauty" that the artist qualifies as reductive, conveying clichés and promoting a confusing misperceptions. It draws attention to the order of the cosmos and its enchantments, infused with the tenderness that we can still glimpse in certain landscapes modeled by humans.
The artist captures clawberry weeds as if rare specimens, immortalizes granite rocks as if they were new members of his family, which testifies to the emotional relationship he has with a harsh and confidential geological world. This personification of the subject matter attempts to arrange minerals, plants and fluids in a respectable cohabitation with humans, rather than succumbing to the seductive and spectacular aspects of the contemporary world as well as plastic forms and illusions devoid of meaning.
