This photo collage by the visual artist Frédérique Stern, features a cut-out figure at the center of a classical architectural space. Outlined in a reddish line, the silhouette contains a black-and-white tree-lined path, as if a forest were hidden within a palace. The image plays with tensions between inside and outside, stone and foliage, order and enigma. The artist turns the figure’s void into a symbolic portal where the historical and the personal brush against each other without merging.
