Artwork title : La terre entre nos mains #2-5

What disappears reveals what still needs to be sustained.

Two circular forms bring into tension contrasting states of the living. The diptych explores an unstable balance between alteration and regeneration, where the fragility of life and human responsibility intertwine.

#2, in monochrome black, embodies a world exhausted by the Anthropocene. The surface reveals residual forms—traces of life reduced to minimal persistence. Fragile hands attempt to hold on to what is disappearing, in a suspended gesture, unable to repair.

#5 unfolds an opposing dynamic: a vegetal, colorful proliferation, where hands become agents of care and regeneration. Life circulates here, yet remains dependent on these actions.

From each circle, hands fall, held by threads—precarious links of continuity between maintenance and collapse.

Made from reclaimed materials—fabrics, threads, radiographic films—the diptych embeds transformation within its very materiality, refusing waste as an end.

Depending on its arrangement, it opens a spatio-temporal space: not an opposition, but a tension—that of a world suspended between disappearance and becoming.
