In my youth; I often walked with my family along the narrow paths of the Swiss Alps. I have always been sensitive to the springs and streams that flow between the rocks.

In this work I explored the fusion of contrasts; where the structure of geometric shapes in blue-violet and white tones opposes the informal orange traces. It is a dialogue between structure and the unexpected; the still mineral of the mountain and the moving water of the spring.

The source symbolizes birth; the emergence of an idea; a dream or a life. Just like water that finds its way despite obstacles; our aspirations and ambitions can spring forth and grow; even from the most arid terrains of our mind.

The title of this work is inspired by a text by the Swiss poet Philippe Jaccottet.

For Jaccottet; the idea of passage is important; I seek visually to establish a passage between structure and chaos; between calm and agitation.
