"Project for Antigone" (detail) © Guillaume Landemaine - 1991 (from my private art collection)
Antigone. In this tragedy written before 442 BC, Sophocles illustrates the eternal conflict between love and power. The outcome of this story is the suicide of heroes. There was 2451 years before now, but even today, conflict between mind and heart stills continue to destroy or kill people when mind is the winner. In our world where for so many of us love is the only precious thing in our life, I express the wish for all of you to be loved and to give love, even if all is not perfect, even if tomorrow is question mark. Nobody can tell that things will work well, but to try and trust is a first victory in the fight against the sadness of this world.
