 Drawing as aims 

 Revelation

Lampblack drawings on canvas.

This series explores the genesis of the image through an alchemical process inspired by silver photography and pyromancy. Paper is first exposed to fire, revealing imprints of burns and lampblack. Water then fixes these unpredictable forms, creating dialogue between opposing forces. Compositions oscillate between organic and cosmic, capturing the instant of an appearance between light and darkness. The titles "Gerboise rouge, bleue, jaune" reference the code names of French nuclear tests in the Algerian desert, adding a historical and political layer to these images born from controlled chance.
