Could I possibly resist the temptation to present the first work from the Liquid Canvas Painting® project right here?
Not far away, the water basins surrounding the Louvre Pyramid create a continuous dialogue between geometry, architecture, and reflections.
When I. M. Pei conceived the pyramid, he chose a transparent structure and a minimalist geometry, capable of establishing a new relationship with the historic building without obscuring it. Water amplifies this dialogue, reflecting the forms and transforming our perception of them.
I find a subtle connection between this game and my work: in both cases, water is not merely what contains the forms, but a presence that helps define them, alter their relationships, and, in some way, create new ones. The forms interact with the water, but it is also the water—with its surface, movement, and reflections—that interacts with the forms.
Presenting “4a Performance” right where architecture and water come together in such a meaningful way makes this first moment of sharing particularly special to me.
