Lot Essay

«Sentir l'âme sans l'expliquer, sans vocabulaire et représenter cette sensation... C'est, je crois, l'une des raisons qui m'a amené à la monochromie.»
"To feel the soul without explaining it, without vocabulary, and to represent this sensation... This is, I believe, one of the reasons that led me to monochrome."
