"At first these small boxes recall the paintings of Castagnetto, an artist who produced mostly small seascapes at the turn of the 19th century. How could such a small-scale work paradoxically contain so much space? I wanted to return to the issue of the micro and the macro. There is an autonomy in each small painting, but there are also relations between them, making up a whole. In other words, there is a universe including all the works as a whole and another where each part is seen in isolation. All were done at the same time and none was rejected."
