10 BURIED DRAWINGS

When I was 23 years old, I quit drawing for a long period of time.

It happened the day I lost my girlfriend, after more than a year long fight against cancer.

For about 10 years I refused to create any artwork. I felt my art had failed us.

If it hadn't been able to save her, what was the point of making art after all?

​

When I realized I was stucked, I decided to create a little psychomagic act for myself in order to demolish the subconscious wall that was keeping me away from my creative energy.

I made a drawing for each of the 10 years that had gone by without expressing myself.

Once the 10 drawings were ready, I shaved my head and carefully collected my hair.

I buried the drawings in my garden at dawn, together with my own hair. I planted a Gerbera (my ex-girlfriend favourite flower) on top.

The day after I started creating my own art again.
