Description of the work:
The Suspended Moment is a symbolic work inspired by the historical period 1910-1920, marked by profound transformations in Europe and around the world. This decade includes notably World War I, a major conflict that upended societies, followed by a period of reconstruction and hope.

In this composition, the butterfly resting on a flower represents metamorphosis and rebirth after trials. The flower, fragile yet upright, symbolizes life persisting despite destructions. The captured moment suggests a pause in the tumult of history, a time of calm and reflection at the heart of an era defined by the fragility of existence and the transformation of societies.

The work of fine lines with pen and ink, combined with the colored nuances of marker and pencil, creates a contrast between delicacy and visual intensity, reinforcing the symbolic dimension of the work.
