Grace I
An inventive construction made out of bricks.
First a drawing on paper and next on screen with 3D Technique. Realised in factory Materialise (Belgium. Louvain) and finally covered in metal.

Pyramid Structure
Construction which form reminds of a pyramid. The air circulates through open spaces and becomes part of the work itself. Ascending line.

Open structure with 5 pomegranates
Open construction with 5 decomposing pomegranates. I pick up decomposing plant elements in order to capture the traces of passing time caused by wind, rain, soil or the human hand. I then incorporate them into my working process so that they lose their vulnerability and become durable. All decomposition halts.

In memoriam Alepo I
Installation of broken bricks. I am deeply impressed by the destruction of cities due to war or natural disasters. Destroyed homes and buildings are a sign of suffering and desperation wherein bricks carry a great emotional burden.

Ruins
This piece represents a destroyed city. It is timeless because cities have always been destructed by wars or natural desasters.
I like the shadows projected on the wall that give this piece an otherworthly beauty.

Lifting brick
I've taken the brick out of content. I lifted it to reinforce the feeling of lightness. The circles are deformed.

Rupture
Here the brick refers to suffering that is represented by the red nails "wounding" it.
The two parts of the brick can be placed in many different ways. It is made of resin, the nails are in bronze.

Pendant bricks
I made this pendant to collaborate with the NGO Rescate (Acnur) that is rebuilding homes, hospitals and schools in Alepo (Syria) recycling rubble.
The bricks are covered with a layer of gold (24 carats) or silver; or lacquered in red, black or brick red. This brick is patented and signed.

Grace II
This work is another version of Grace I. I make often two versions of a work, maybe to amplify its content.
The difference with Grace I is very subtle, it is about rythms between circles and planes that are managed differently.

Logotype
I like to introduce decayed elements into the brick, such as these long old nails.
