This project (2014-2020) initiated with my discovery of Iceland's landscapes almost ten years ago. Nature in Iceland is striking because it lingers wildly untouched by human hands. So brutal, strong and fierce that it triggered in me that particular feeling mentioned by the French philosopher Blaise Pascal: 'to be in between two infinities'. The project is a compilation of memories, collected over time in different countries, poems, sketches, watercolors, photographs and ceramic pieces. All of them become different iterations of the same territory — the one of rocks and wild places — and the experience of the sublime.
