This vaguely anthropomorphic tower, engraved in 2009, symbolizes the daily journey of every man : « climb » every morning towards light and « descend » in the evening towards the darkness. The set of stairs that embrace the tower accentuates the vertical movement. Velvety blacks and tones ambers communicate a suspended and poetic atmosphere.
