Nous allons couler!, 2025, oil and acrylic on canvas, 200 x 160 cm, 21.600 Euro
The phrase "Nous allons couler" ("We shall perish") is attributed to Marie Antoinette, who died under the guillotine during the French Revolution. The magnificently painted female figure wears a dress fashionable at the end of the 18th century. Currently, the phrase is used in the context of the French migration debate. It simultaneously represents rising sea levels and the climate crisis.
