Stillenary (Guardian of the Emergence): the paradox of creating movement through perfect stillness. Monuments built by barely moving water, emphasising the power of the seemingly powerless, how the gentle forces, given time, carve chambers from solid rock., 2025 (detail)

Marguerite Humeau, The Dancing Bat: the one who circles, loops, and pivots through the roost not for display but for calibration - stirring stagnant pockets of air, redistributing warmth from clustered bodies, scattering cues that keep panic from blooming in the dark. It is the caretaker whose devotion is kinetic, a form of love expressed as continual motion, the willingness to spend its own energy so that others may rest in breathable stillness., 2025.
