Into the cylinder
Overview,
From the interior,
To the exterior.
The Into the cylinder series reconstructs the palette of chakras theorized by Asian medicine. The seven cylinders contain colored fluids with hypnotic swirls, symbolizing the body's energies, a priori impalpable. The dosages are not left to chance. The contents of the glass tubes correspond to each of the artist's chakras: he thus composes a self-portrait of the invisible.
