Oil painting
The Place of Waste
Original title: L’endroit de déchets
A lavatory rising out of the sea like a monument.
Gilded cistern, white porcelain, storm sky: the thing is painted with all the gravity of a lighthouse. At the bottom of the bowl sits a brown ball that looks uncomfortably like a planet. The title is literal. The picture asks a plain question: where does everything we throw away end up, if not where we live?

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
