Editor: This is "Epitase" by Comte Régis Guy de Bouvier de Cachard. It’s dreamlike, almost surreal, with these muted blues and pinks. What kind of story do you think it's trying to tell? Curator: Oh, it's a captivating piece, isn’t it? It whispers of mythology and perhaps even a touch of personal fantasy. That rearing horse, poised between worlds, makes me wonder about the artist's own struggles with identity. Do you see the ghostly figures lurking in the upper corner? Editor: I do now! They look almost like memories. Curator: Precisely! It's as if Cachard is inviting us into his subconscious, a place where dreams and reality blur, where horses can fly and memories dance. Editor: It makes you wonder what he was going through. Curator: Absolutely, and that’s the beauty of art, isn't it? A window into another's soul.
