It is La Marche du pouvoir that inspired me, but it is my thirteen-year-old daughter who posed.
It was also a challenge: making a very tall, very long sculpture.
Technically it was very complicated.
I didn’t know where I could make it.
It was the man from the foundry that showed me a place: I created Palmïé in his working space, his foundry, surrounded by noise and dust.
