Through the rhythmic accumulation of sandstone and marl layers, flysch emerges as a metaphor for love and life itself. A complex, at times chaotic structure, where each stratum—sometimes solid, sometimes fragile—mirrors what shapes us through our relationships: our strengths, our vulnerabilities.
Much like the love that binds us from one being to another, flysch is formed over time. Each layer leaves a trace, compiles, compresses, complements or fractures—shaping those that follow. From this succession of events emerges a stable, enduring whole, where verticality becomes elevation, deeply marked by history and time.
This geological memory is here transposed into a visual language that sits between abstraction and cartography. The rock layers become a succession of irregular, fractured lines, rendered in an ultramarine blue that transports us. This visual interpretation of human connection maintains a close link with the sea and its shifting moods. Each piece is accompanied by GPS coordinates that invite the viewer to locate its origin. This quiet act of discovery fosters a direct connection between the observer and the artist’s lived experience—an open invitation to travel and explore.
