Link – Forms of the relationship

The connection, the union, the linking, the penetration are all explored in seductive ways. The light from the glass is held in an obsessive embrace. The simplicity of the idea harmonizes with the beauty of the work. The emotion is accessible, immediate.

In the depths of his lair, Xavier Carrère has united these emotions without forcing them. The unions seem self-evident. Contemplating these united couples, I amused myself by distinguishing the masculine from the feminine, succeeding with delight until I experienced indecent sensations.
