"I made the porcelain pieces for this work in 2022 during a residency at La Souterraine (Creuse, France). For a month, I taught ceramic techniques to students at the Raymond Lœwy General and Technological High School. There were plaster molds in the high school workshop from a local porcelain factory. The shape of the shell is a symbol of the region. I modeled the sculpture in Paris a few months later and fired it in February 2023 in Limoges."
