New breath
Nouveau souffle (New breath) |
Nouveau souffle
Près de la mer, je regarde ma propre réflexion,
En moi, je sens que l’air froid,
Que je m’apprête à inspirer,
est le nouveau souffle que porte le mot « liberté ».
New breath
By the sea,
I am looking at my own reflection,
Under my
skin, right within me, I know
the cold
air I’m about to inhale,
Is the new
breath carried by the word “freedom”.
Inspiration
This is a watercolour painting I did on paper a while ago. Looking at it now, I just made this little poem that I thought would go with it."Le nouveau souffle" is a french expression that for me symbolizes the feeling of freedom, refreshment and life after a new start.
To give a new breath to something is to give it life again.
Process
I did the watercolour painting with light and neutral colours, my aim was to convey a sensation of freedom, of freshness and lightness. The painting had to be related with the sea and the cold wind which is why I decided to draw fine lines in the hair so that it shows the movement of it.I wrote the poem in english and then in french so that you see how it sounds in the other language. I had to change some words to make it sound better in french.
Love,
Mxx
