About the artwork
S’écrire
In S’écrire, the artist presents the images and mental imprints that inhabit her psyche and guide her life.
Her work investigates the relations between the self and the others. Duval returns to her memories to understand solitude and becoming together. Thus, she questions life in society: How can a crowd be so empty? S’écrire testifies to the relational movement and the porosity of the frames through a spontaneous gesture by freezing reality.
Poems written by the artist accompany the work.
