Editor: Henri Hayden's "Fay-le-Bac" presents this vista rendered in simplified shapes, dominated by a sea of green. The scene feels so peaceful, like a memory gently fading. What emotions or ideas does this landscape evoke for you? Curator: It’s funny you say fading, because that green feels so alive to me! It’s like staring into a field of pure potential. Hayden is distilling the landscape to its essence; it is not just trees and hills, but a feeling of being there, a harmony. It's a reminder that sometimes, less really *is* more, isn't it? Editor: Absolutely, I can definitely see the vibrancy now, thanks.
