Guardians of Nice by Night. 2025

Seven thinkers, blossoming with fire — like immense lanterns in oblivion.
They do not light the world — they burn within, reflecting only themselves.

Apollo — neither god nor man, but a cluster of darkness outlined in radiance.
The fountain bursts in sprays, while bronze beasts and birds stand as guardians of the threshold.

The grotesque chessboard silhouette of France transforms into a map of dreams.

This is a city suspended between sleep and awakening,
where imagination plays with reality,
and the silhouettes of light and shadow keep watch over the square,
to remind us: the night holds more than the day can ever reveal.
