In this collection, creation is not the result of skill or planning,but a moment of unconscious living

a moment when something from the depths of lived experience, without prior design, emerges into matter. From this perspective, the artwork is not a crafted object,but a trace of a psychic event a moment when the inner world, in contact with matter,transforms into form and color. As Franz Kaltenbeck reminds us,creation takes place when theunconscious has not yet been contaminated by symbolic language at the moment when matter and image carry the rawest impulses of the mind. Philippe Julien views creativity as a means of continuing to live a form that transforms anxiety and fragmentation into rhythm,through which the psyche finds the possibility of renewal. And for François Ristow, the creative moment. is that of the body listening to the world where presence reveals itself through contact with being. In this sense, each work is not a representation of the world,but its lived form a movement between inside and outside, between consciousness and the unconscious, in which both the artist and the material are simultaneously transformed. Perhaps what pulses within these works is the residue of that very moment of contact the moment when living and creating are indistinguishable, and the work is not a bearer of meaning, but the event itself.
