Presentation

“When I was little, every summer I went to my uncle's house in a region of Mongolia. He was a shepherd. He owned a horse (like all shepherds in Mongolia) which was for him more than just a domestic animal. He was his true friend. Often my uncle would take me up and we would ride together. It was unforgettable moments for me. At that time, civilization had not yet arrived in this region. The shepherds lived nomadically, the landscape was more intact. Vast plains as far as the eye can see, lakes reflecting the blue of the sky. Now with industrialization, people no longer ride horses but 4 × 4 carriages and the famous Mongolian horse is an attraction for tourists. The whole ecosystem is upset. Because of the pollution, there is less rain, the earth dries up, people lack water. In the summer of 2006 I returned to this region. I felt the change in people's awareness, they realized how much civilization had a negative impact on nature and the balance between man and nature was upset. They are trying to reestablish this lost link again. I therefore focused on the representation of man and animal, for the importance of its place in nature today. I want to work on this relationship that links this contemporary world to our natural environment. It is important to be careful not to lose this wealth in a world prone to damage it. "
