The owl has become a theme close to my heart.
Sophie Verger plays with the pure reason of the look and lies the opposition of her interpretation. She shows here, by these two entities - child / lion - that can ask the question of the reality of the games; is it real or a challenge, a revolt, a test of resistance, a comparison or a disagreement? Finally... all these oppositions were just a step towards learning to resist anything that would never be lived again through the indulgence of childhood. What mattered after all was to have unquestionable support in the face of the adult world because, if we conform to the herd at the expense of our own lives, we completely let go of the child that we are and we will never whole.
She is a fairy who knows how to transform an emotion into an animal, a sensation, a felling in a recollected memory. She also suggests to us with a lot of humor a lovable identification with the animal model and beyond this observation the fact that in all her work, the child alone has its place with her, spontaneously capable of including the existence of the animal in her own fundamental values.
