Rien n’est fixe, rien n’est prévisible quand tous les éléments variables in uent. Le temps injustement reprend ses droits face à notre impatience et humblement nous regardons son évolution.
Tentatives vaines de ralentir la chute. Comme de l’ecchymose profonde, nous regardons le flux de cette palette colorée mouvante.

L’imperceptible humidité, l’intangible acidité quand convoquées ensemble, elles réunissent, invoquent et font apparaître la beauté de leurs stigmates engendrant leurs propre dégradation.
Eau, Feu, Air corrosifs, ces chamans puissants, silhouettes sanglantes traversant la surface irradiante.

De cet infime ruissellement qui ronge la roche et se charge de ses minéraux, jamais nous ne verrons l’ultime goutte qui scelle et réunit la stalactite de la stalagmite, mais nous le savons possible. L’écho de nos vases communicants trouvent ici leurs chemins dans cet équilibriste accord.

Nui Mangk’a set are that blazed the surface of the earth red and golden. Nui N’dü unleashed an overwhelming rain that ooded the earth, so intensively the ames couldn’t nd refuge even under the most hidden of stones. So, Nui N’dü got to be the one who created people. He gave them the gi of reproduction, but only under the condition that they would live near water sources . Since then, Nui Mangk’a wonders the deserts by himself. However, he has the power to endow people with the gi of witchcra . It’s his revenge! To nd the witches, the masters grind the Nè, the sclerotium you spoke of , they mix it up with water and heat it up. Afterwards, he pours it into a ma wangkya, a ceramics piece, made specially for this purpose...
