The story – L’histoire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

EN-
A nameless child awake in a mysterious poppy field. They go on their way through strange lands, looking for meaning and meeting various people inhabiting this world. Some are allies while other are too scary to approach. Fortunately the child is not alone, a black cat seem to tag along the journey, sometime a protector, other a cruel witness of the child struggles.

Un enfant sans nom s’\u00e9veille dans un myst\u00e9rieux champs de coquelicots. Chemin faisant, l’enfant part a la d\u00e9couverte de ces \u00e9tranges contr\u00e9es en qu\u00eate de sens, rencontrant des alli\u00e9.e.s mais aussi des \u00eatres bien trop \u00e9ffrayants pour \u00eatre approch\u00e9s. Heureusement l’enfant n’est pas tout \u00e0 fait seul, un chat noir semble le suivre. Parfois protecteur, d’autre fois t\u00e9moin cruel des ses aventures.

Here I felt like tackling something more complex and detailed. I used this project to explore not only the narrative borders of a world between dreams and “the afterlife” but also add carefully curated symbolism in my pictures. The project was made using traditional ink stick to make various layers of wash, and sometimes a hint of color ink.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Avec ce projet je voulais essayer quelque chose de plus d\u00e9taill\u00e9. Il m’a servi de terrain de recherche narratif et m’a permis de dessiner les contours d’un monde entre r\u00eave et “au-del\u00e0”en y int\u00e9grant du symbolisme plus pouss\u00e9. Ce projet \u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 fait principalement \u00e0 l’encre de chine utilis\u00e9 en lavis superpos\u00e9s avec, parfois, une touche de couleur.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
