The first pieces of AWARÉ caused a disturbance. The public did not know what they were.
Mineral, organic… Nevertheless, the quest in this work is not that of the imitation even less of the « trompe l’oeil ». It is more a philosophy of absorption. Consciousness or intuition that these states traversed by earthly matter are ours.
The manifestations of the elements emerge in us because they have been absorbed, they pass through us and inhabit us. No need to mobilize one’s will to reproduce.
