A Bridge Between Humans and Words

Creating in series means patiently building a territory of meaning. In A Bridge Between Humans and Words, I wanted to build bridges between the interior and the exterior, between the intimate and the collective, between the visible and the inexpressible. Through these works, I represent not only physical bridges—the majestic ones that span the rivers and cities of Quebec—but also symbolic bridges: those that unite people through words, sight, listening, and poetry.

Each canvas is a journey. The wood, the pigments, the textures, the traces of graphite: all dialogue in a visual language that aspires to express what words sometimes struggle to express. White breathes. It leaves room for the necessary silence, the silence where emotion is born. Abstraction here is not an escape from reality, but a dive into it, through its finest vibrations.

This project was fueled by a dialogue with the words of poet Jean-Michel Fontaine. His engaged and sensitive writing guides the viewer’s gaze and deepens the experience. Together, we sought to create a space for exchange, a collective work in tension between image and language, between body and thought.

Behind the scenes, there’s a commitment: to contribute, in our own way, to a more attentive, more humane world. A portion of sales from this series is donated to the Dédé Fortin Foundation to support suicide prevention and mental health. Because sometimes, all it takes is a bridge to prevent a fall.

A bridge between humanity and words is an invitation: to cross, to encounter, to understand. To never miss it again.
