Eva Vérwicht

‘Wait weeks for those high tides, when the sea reveals that inaccessible playground. Where everything becomes bigger, new, experimental, conducive to the imagination. Jumping from rock to rock I discover a large pond where the trapped water is of a different color. Crystalline, both a mirror of the sky and an aquarium magnifier, it seems to sparkle with life. Hands in the water, I discover a multitude of textures, of living beings, squeezing between algae and stones. It is a pleasure to touch and be amazed by these anemones, these trapped fish, these shells, a play of colours and shapes existing only in the water, unseen on Earth.’ It is here, a reminiscence of Eva’s childhood, that one can discover the creatures from her collection. Her bags come straight out of this organic and phantasmagorical world, ready for a dreamer, a woman who lives to the rhythm of her emotions.
