It was an incredible discovery, the doors to a new world opened to her. So that was art, an enormous space of freedom. Insects, sciences have their place in art. They are not opposites.

Artists are not a profession unlike scientists who are legitimate and will save the world. This erroneous image was transmitted to her a lot, which pushed her today to work on the relationship between art and science and more precisely, on the scientist/artist parallel

Lucile coriace tries to defend her place but leaves her latest strengths. Impossible to go back there, she is fired, betrayed by the system, betrayed by power, betrayed by these humans whom she esteemed.
