Description: 

Flooded paved courtyard. The artist played with the black opacity of asphalt vs the clear transparency of water, with their capacity to absorb or reflect light, with the constant immobility of the first vs the moving fluidity of the other. Through these aspects, the garden appears to blend in with the wooden area, extending it in such a way as to confound us.
