Totems, dreamlike and deconstructed representations of humanity

Par JIFIE

«

I joined DF Art Project because its vision resonates deeply with my own approach: starting from reality, allowing it to be transformed by the imagination, and then reconstructing a personal perception through sculpture. My work is born from this tension between reality and inner transformation, and it is this very movement that naturally led me to DF.

I want my sculptures to become spaces of encounter, where my own sensibility enters into dialogue with that of the viewer. Emotion, the sensuality of bodies, and the hidden dimension of our representations lie at the heart of my research. This is why I revisit myths and archetypes, particularly totems — dreamlike figures that evoke our buried inheritances.

I do not seek to direct interpretation; what matters is the sensitive resonance the work may provoke, whether positive or unsettling. Feeling takes precedence over analysis.

Today, I am exploring new mineral materials, close to clay yet requiring no firing, while continuing to reinterpret myths such as Sisyphus and Lilith, in order to keep probing those spaces where imagination, emotion, and transformation meet.
