Abstract
Since 1995. It all starts when, as children, we scribble on large sheets of paper with markers and colored pencils. Some will keep their pencils in their hands all their life, others will put them down one day and will never draw anymore, sometimes by lack of interest, by shyness, or just by lack of confidence. Others will stop for a while, then take out their pencils again, as teenagers, and escape into the sides of their notebooks during school hours; still others, already adults, will scribble on a post-it note, placed on the table, during a too long phone call. Let's stop for a moment on these last two cases. When we are bored, a meditative phenomenon takes place. This is the perfect moment to activate our pens and let ourselves be carried away by the movements of our thoughts and our hands. The results can be astonishing, as if out of nowhere, and are much more valuable than we might think. They reveal parts of us that we ourselves are sometimes unaware of. The following drawings are the result of this process.
