This small artist’s book introduces us to the discovery of two worlds, that of writing and that of engraving that come together in a perfect symbiosis. A night that reveals itself as an offering to a superior god, an ineffable happiness that reason cannot explain... In the loving contemplation of the nature, the writer and engraver invite us to bear witness to beauty.
