Mission<\/h2>

Born from a dual background in marine biology and visual arts, the studio applies its mastery of water circuits<\/strong>, physico-chemical and biological balances<\/strong>, and sculpture<\/strong> to artistic expression. Nature remains the model: mangroves, reefs, Posidonia seagrass beds, marshes, mosses, and epiphytes nourish a perspective that seeks a sensitive truth<\/strong>. By playing with scale, forms, and materials, each work retains the self-evidence of reality while opening up a dreamlike space. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Manifesto & Ethics<\/h2>

  • Respect for Life<\/strong>: priority given to freshwater biotopes, limitation of exotic plants and animals, encouragement of regional and cultivated species.<\/p><\/li>

  • Symbiosis<\/strong>: each creation stages cycles where the life of one supports the life of another; the viewer’s attachment becomes an active ecology.<\/p><\/li>

  • Commitment<\/strong>: partnership with the Mauritius Marine Conservation Society<\/strong> focusing on reef protection, protected areas, and awareness.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Materials & Techniques<\/h2>

    Lightweight upcycled<\/strong> structures (reclaimed polystyrene) mineralized with a fine mortar<\/strong> (sands, colored earths, resin) ensuring solidity, inertia, and chemical neutrality<\/strong>. Circuits and devices are integrated<\/strong> into the rock: studied hydrodynamics, trickles, waterfalls, precise lighting… Everything contributes to silence<\/strong>, legibility, and durability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
