A strip of land suspended between sky and sea extends into a boundless landscape. This etching reveals a paradox, the work of the engraver, made slowly in hard metal, inspires us immediate impressions: before us opens the cosmic vision of an imaginary horizon. After this first contact, a deeper reading will allow you to grasp details that will become dominant. Observe the vegetation on the cliff, the stones that compose it, the letters scattered on the water... and, if you follow this large diagonal that crosses the space, you will meet the little character on the catwalk of his house; he dominates the scene, contemplates the horizon that opens to his eyes.
