Features: Rereading my past works, I sometimes feel embarrassed and at other times proud of myself, a bit carried away. Fortunately, neither emotion was revealed. Rather, it was precisely because I created this work that I immersed myself in an indescribable and incomparable happiness: I stayed in that small village by the Lot River, where the sky was always cold and beautiful. The fire in the hearth by the bedside burned all night, crackling occasionally. Every blade of grass and leaf here brought me great joy, warming my heart. I wanted to recapture everything from the past. I wanted to relearn how to live, with no age limit. As the saying goes, what we learn throughout our lives is how to live.
