This copper engraved in 2003 (after a long sleep the edition has been made only now) deals with the theme of birth, imagined as an initiatory path towards light through narrow walls. Accentuated by tall columns, the dimensions of copper enhance verticality. The path is strewn with obstacles, light and details capture our gaze. Mystery pervades space and seduces us. With his poetic vision, the engraver describes life, and in particular birth, as a luminous gift that belongs to us. Perhaps, the greatest mystery, we are ourselves. Engraving dedicated to the true nostalgics of the future.
