Eyes closed, head slightly bowed, she seems suspended in a moment of grace.
Her breath, imperceptible but present, crosses the canvas like a wave of rebirth.
After the creative wandering, after the silence imposed by doubt, a new breath takes hold.
This work marks the return of the female figure, the artist's signature, but it is no longer quite the same.
She is inhabited by a profound calm, a new-found plenitude. We sense that something has opened up.
As if the two doves, created before her, had cleansed the sky so that this human presence could be reborn there. The doves are no longer visible in this canvas, but their presence is there, everywhere, in the soft, floating energy that surrounds it.
They have opened up the space. She inhabits it.
She's breathing again. And with her, the creative impulse begins again.
