La surface du vent

Permanent installation

Private commission by Serge Roose, Architect, Brussels, Belgium

La surface du vent, oil painting on rice paper, hand sewn, structure in pear wood, 230 × 280 cm, 90.5 × 110.2 in, 2024-25

The work is constructed from debris of materials and with fragments of rice paper drawn, painted and sewn by hand. It evokes the idea of ​​transformation and recalls the structure and origin of the Kesa, a garment worn by Zen Buddhist monks and nuns during meditation. In La surface du vent, the air of the space where the work is installed gives it a subtle movement, like breathing, which is now part of it
