Born from oral stories from the 14th century and written down in 1981 by Jean Le Mauve, the Green Lady still haunts the landscapes of Picardy where I grew up. She embodies nature in all its strength and vulnerability, rewarding or punishing according to the justice of actions.

In my work, she comes back to life. I wanted to follow her in her metamorphoses—birth, blossoming, disappearing—like an echo of the cycle of the seasons and our fragile bond with the living. Between legend and reality, her shadows continue to slide across the land that saw me born.
