This monumental architecture is made of these glass bricks that the artist has used for more than ten years.
They come here to mask the noise of war and weapons, graves and wounds. In their purity they offer an ode to sacred life in its eternal rebirth.
The concretions of mirrored bricks soar towards the sky to emerge from a tomb of black glass. They defy weightlessness and echo the pink bricks that are the glory of the Occitan region.
This work, as black as it is luminous, stands majestically as a warning against the destructive prince who exists in every being.
Delicately placed in its center, beats a small block of ruby crystal, symbol of a heart vibrating with hope and glowing under the embers of despair.
