This bipartite work combines black and white photography and embroidered text inscription with gold thread, creating an intriguing dialogue between image and word. The superimposed text, composed of capital letters, challenges with its philosophical reflections on evolution and human nature, evoking an inner and outer exploration. The juxtaposition of the writing and the wild setting calls for a deep introspection on the role of man in the environment. The contrast between the images evokes a sense of continuity and rupture, pushing the viewer to reflect on progress and harmony with nature. This work is distinguished by its ability to merge text and image to provoke a meditation on human existence.

Presentation
Alongside her research in painting, Sophie Lavine, known by her pseudonym SOL, produces textures-"embroideries": plastic manifestations of the mystery of language. The "embroideries" are read on both sides, calling upon the haptic sense, the desire to touch or better: the awakening of the eye's touch. The front and back of the "embroideries" offer a new experience that recalls in music Bach's "counterpoint" project, which sewed two notes edge to edge to create contact sonorities intended to welcome the sensitive note, the one that comes to ring in the ear of the heart. Internal pinching. Sensitive zone. The work of the fine needle crosses the paper, passing through small holes and brings into contact the two sides of the same membrane: the readable-visible world and the illegible-invisible world.
