Les portes qui claquent
What matters to me in this book is not just a love story, but what it reveals about us.
Two characters who are not destroyed by a lack of love, but by an inability to understand themselves at the right moment. A story can be a success, even if it doesn't last.
- A love story as a revelation of self
- Re-evaluation as a process, not a state
- Two characters transformed by their inability to understand each other at the right moment
- A story can be a success even if it doesn't last
- Every encounter opens a door—some never truly cease to exist
Artist's Statement
We often move forward with certainties: about ourselves, about love, about what we think we can accept or refuse. Then an encounter comes and turns everything upside down. It confronts us with our limits, our fears, our contradictions.
Re-evaluation is not a state, it's a process. It is not decided upon, it is imposed. It is uncomfortable, sometimes violent, and it often comes too late, when the relationship is already broken.
In this story, the two characters are not destroyed by a lack of love, but by an inability to understand themselves at the right moment. And yet, this relationship transforms them profoundly.
I wanted to show that a story can be a success, even if it doesn't last. Because it forces us to see, to grow, to become more lucid.
We are made of our experiences, our wounds, our impulses. Nothing is linear, nothing is perfect. But every encounter can open a door. And some, even when closed, never truly cease to exist.
