I sewed these cushions in 2024. There were five of them. I set two aside because the sheets I had used were haloed with sweat. Hyperhidrosis comes from an overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. The sweat produced by the sweat glands depends directly on that system.

The cushions in the exhibition measure 1.40 m.
Claude Monet painted nearly two hundred and fifty canvases of light about to vanish over a marsh, even as his eyes gradually refused any form of light, due to a degenerative opacification of the lens.

I think of people who read the Water Lilies as an ideal image, perfect nature, absolute romanticism.
