The aim is to immerse yourself in each artwork. Here are some details about the characters in this narrative
Vilanem
1. The Naked Swimmer
He left his swimsuit on the shore.
Itās discreet, almost as if forgotten, but for us, it means everything.
He is naked, and he swims inward.
He is not fleeing. Perhaps he does it to become skin again, body, breath.
Itās a shedding.
He might come back to retrieve his swimsuit.

2. The Runner with the Sphere
He runs. He doesnāt walk.
His movement is quick, determined, almost joyful, like a childās game or an emergency.
In one hand, a sphere. Itās not a weapon. Itās not a toy.
Maybe itās a message. Or a heavy memory he canāt set down.
Heās the only one running. The others are still, leaning, suspended.
He seems to be heading toward something he will never reveal.

3. The Floater
He plays dead. But he floats.
He lets himself drift on his back, open to the water, the silence, the sky.
We donāt know if heās playing, or if heās given up the gesture.
He, too, holds a sphere, tethered to him by a thread.
A heart? A thought? A closed eye?
This thread, we donāt know if itās what keeps him alive, or the last thing heās willing to carry with him.

4. The Standing One and the One Who Watches
He stands, always. Upright. Still. As if bearing a weight.
And she, she is seated.
But sheās not looking at him.
Sheās looking at you.
She draws you in. Maybe even judges you.
Thereās a question in her eyes that weāve all tried to avoid.
Maybe sheās been waiting for you.
Maybe she sees you more clearly than you see her.

5. The One Who Hides, and the One Who Speaks
One of them sits between two jar-shaped dwellings, hiding, head down, sphere in hand.
Itās not an offering. Perhaps itās a weapon, a shield.
She wants to disappear, but still clings to that luminous thread, a remnant of hope, perhaps.
The other, inside her open jar, speaks to you.
Her posture seems to say:
āSee? Iām still here.ā
Or maybe:
āYouāre afraid to come out too, arenāt you?ā

6. The Mother and Her Two Children
Three bodies inside the jar. A mother, two children.
She is not asleep. She watches.
She holds the space, absorbs the gaze.
She knows the others wonāt come to help.
She seeks neither rescue nor praise.
She does what mothers do:
She makes protection invisible.

7. The Woman Who Washes
She is bent over.
But itās not pain, itās intimacy.
She washes her hair in the water. Slowly. As if each gesture holds a memory.
Everything about her is feminine : the curve, the slowness, the care.
She doesnāt look at you.
She is in her body, not to please, but to find herself again.
She might be the only one here who isnāt running from anything 5 replies
