Fog

Banks of fog rise in the city, a milky film swallowing up the houses, as if a whole city were gradually disappearing. Observing the fog, I realise I have to sharpen up my perceptions. Producing a painting out of my imagination is a delicate undertaking. The white fog seems to be a premonition of loss, of weakness, of my inability to recognise who I really am. Immersed in doubt, determination and will are my only compass. A painting is a depiction of the state of things, a means of liberating myself from the darkness. Yet I remain a stranger as I plunge into the white fog which embraces whole houses and eventually engulfs the whole city.
