The dying (2022) Painting by Christophe Dupin

In the little box, I had to learn the law of impermanence to accept the progressive and regular destruction of what was created there. Fortunately, there is another box inside the little box. Inside me. This one is magical. When I open it, I find the idea of infinity, a strange and changing world. I like to get lost there so I find myself. Over the years, I have learned how it works. To move forward, you need enough hope and despair, energy and fatigue, abandonment and persistence. What I discovered there is unspeakable. Let's try though:

Do, step back, observe, find meaning. 

Sad light, misleading colors, fawn masks and false joy. cathartic darkness, saving depth. Open wounds, faults and scars poorly closed. Precipices, figures of damaged innocence, caves and caverns for refuge. Crunch the slightest particle of calm down to the atom trying to know if the truth is complex. Cross oceans of fire, fields of rock and graveyards of petals. Get lost in the magma, almost die there. Emergency escape from the magic box, teleport near your home, pick up the thread of your story. Revisiting my Pantheon. My masters always helped me find my way. Return to the magic box. This time I dig, I crisscross, I unearth figures and symbols in souvenir form. I seek true light in the depths of our souls.

I told you it was unspeakable.
