In Empreinte, matter receives the gesture directly.

The clay is pressed, marked, struck. The impacts remain visible, becoming an integral part of the form. Some of these traces are later touched with gold, not to be erased, but to be revealed.

The series explores the relationship between the force of the gesture and the transformation of matter.

What has altered it becomes precisely what makes it singular.

Empreinte thus considers the scar as an active memory: not as evidence of fragility, but as the irreversible trace of a passage and of what it has made possible.
