« Cette série aborde le thème du sacré et de la nature. Les racines en forme de cœur anatomique que j’utilise ici sont celles du genévrier, l’arbre des contes de fées, dont le symbolisme rassemble la chance, la protection, la résilience, la mort mais aussi l’immortalité. »
"This series deals with the theme of the sacred and of nature. The anatomical heart-shaped roots I use here are those of the juniper, the tree of fairy tales, whose symbolism brings together luck, protection, resilience, death and immortality."

« La symbolique de cet arbre est également rattachée à celui d’Astarté, une émanation de Tanit, déesse tutélaire d’Ibiza.
Après avoir peint et marouflé de feuilles de métal les racines, précieuses reliques sylvestres, je les ai enchâssées dans des reliquaires brodés de perles et de pierres dures. Ainsi, elles sont présentées comme les restes de la Terre-mère, sainte et martyre s’il en est. »

« The symbolism of this tree is also linked to that of Astarte, an emanation of Tanit, Ibiza’s tutelary goddess.
After painting the roots, precious relics of the forest, and smearing them with metal foil, I set them in reliquaries embroidered with pearls and hard stones. In this way, they are presented as the remains of Mother Earth, saint and martyr if ever there was one. »
