The Sleepers (Les dormeurs), 2017–present
Silver-plated brass
At first glance, the small pebble-like forms appear abstract. They are in fact sleeping figures, shaped during nights of insomnia. Each one fits in the palm of the hand. Cast in brass and coated in silver, their reflective surfaces capture and distort the face of the viewer. Handled and turned, they function as small objects of projection—shifting between presence and absence, wakefulness and sleep.
