In this photo collage by French visual artist Frédérique Stern, a female silhouette with raised arms is cut out over an ornate domestic scene. Inside her, a landscape of mountains and river unfolds, as if the body itself held the escape into nature. The golden line outlining her form marks the boundary between inside and outside, between containment and expansion. The artist creates an image that oscillates between reverie and the urge to break free, revealing the body as a threshold between opposing worlds.
