Château de Versailles, Jardin Français, Petit Trianon, summer 2010
Installation of five plant sculptures inspired by the cycle of life, global warming, plant habitat, and medicinal botany
Drunken Forest : These trees trapped in a movement they do not control, having lost the sense of verticality, are the symbolic image of the strange climatic disorder in progress.
Forbidden Fruit: The laboratory-inspired installation of nine transparent bubbles, like strange oversized fruits where aromatic and medicinal herbs grow, represents an infinitesimal sample of the plant's power over man.
Natural Cyclic: A universal symbol of involution and evolution, birth and death, this 6 metre high plant spiral reminds us that the only constant in life is impermanence.
Plant gallery: Directly inspired by the ribbed crossings of baroque churches, this nine-metre long string of inverted plant arches reminds us that nature is our guest, that it welcomes us and shelters us on this earth.
Baroque heart : This four-metre heart, pierced by an arrow at the Royal point and covered with passion red flowers, is a hymn to universal love
