"Artifact 44-44"est une œuvre imposante où le rouge intense se détache avec force sur un fond blanc texturé. Deux formes géométriques rouges, asymétriques et tranchantes, encadrent une bande centrale verticale également rouge, qui porte en creux une série de symboles organisés en colonnes. Le reste de la surface, bien que blanche, est également gravé de symboles, plus discrets, comme enfouis dans la matière. Cette tension entre visibilité et effacement, entre couleur vive et mémoire gravée, donne à l’ensemble une présence presque totémique, évoquant à la fois le langage, le territoire et l’empreinte culturelle. L'œuvre agit comme une stèle contemporaine, un objet de transmission à la fois énigmatique et universel.

‘Artifact 44-44' is an imposing work in which intense red stands out powerfully against a textured white background. Two sharp, asymmetrical red geometric shapes frame an also red vertical central band, with a series of symbols arranged in columns recessed into it. The rest of the surface, although white, is also engraved with symbols, more discreet as if buried in the material. This tension between visibility and dilution, between vivid colors and engraved memory, gives the piece an almost totemic presence, evoking language, territory and cultural imprint. The work acts as a contemporary stele, an object of transmission that is both enigmatic and universal.
