Poverty is the father of revolution and crime.

Revolutions? Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, etc.

In Europe too, you see small and large marches of malcontents every week: in the banlieux of Paris during Sarkozy, the green shirts under Macron. The result of growing inequality. For some people, everyday life has become unaffordable.

Back in June 2009, I started making watercolours and photographs in St-Paul park. I was asked to work with the exterior of the cathedral in the 21st century.
