“Science is not only compatible with spirituality. It is a profound source of spirituality.”Carl Sagan

Since a young age, I’ve felt like Alice in Wonderland. I search areas through the material find ways for us to travel within ourselves, to places where everything is possible somehow. And I’m like Columbus, searching for what goes further, beyond ourselves, to our regions that are mysterious and still unknown. “Why are we here?” I’ve been asking. “Who we are, and what is our role in coming to earth?”

I was 12 when my family returned to France from Vietnam and I “bumped into” Carl Jung and Carl Sagan by chance. Since then I’ve become passionate about everything that makes the connection between our consciousness and the Universe, whether it is astrophysics, physics, or quantum physics. The Light Walls are part of the synthesis of all my research for more than 40 years on this subject.

Science tells us today that our brains store information, but another part of ourselves actually organizes it. Several people explain the possibility that our consciousness exists in parallel with our space/time—and so therefore out of the body?

Two black holes collided 1.3 billion light-years ago. This collision was received by Ligo and Virgo in September 2015 and validated on February 11, 2016. In its passage, the gravitational wave generated by this cosmic cataclysm deformed time and space. Thus, the Earth has been slightly distorted in a very ephemeral way. This is the distortion that was detected. If Time does not really exist, can we say that Death is an illusion created by space/time? (Yet it’s very real in our space/time dimension.)

Walls in multiple layers represent our multiple dimensions. Material (which however seems very real) is an illusion created by our consciousness and related to space/time.

The transparency of the walls is emptiness filled with information (see the sides of the plates)—our true nature. The light of the spirit (Love) comes to give us a different perspective on the experiment, to see through things, to understand, realize, and illuminate the viewing subject. The transparency of the walls represents knowledge, and the light represents the spirit of the Love that illuminates and guides us to this new consciousness of the Self.

I intentionally used light that comes from below, from Earth. The element plexiglas is oil, and it’s somehow the memories of the Earth, a way of saying, “Let’s look inside this ‘material’ and perhaps we’ll finally find true answers from the Me to the Self.” The Light comes from inside of Us and so from inside the Earth as well. Plexiglas is the memories of the earth—oil—which is today our source of energy, with nuclear power.

Transparency evokes the emergence of another future with emptiness as a source of energy, which is filled with energy and information. A possible future? That would be wonderful.

My research led me to understand that “the intention and the point of view” of the observer that will determine the subject and somehow create it. We are responsible for what we experience, because it seems that we literally create our reality through the way we apprehend “reality” influenced by our feelings, our induced memories, and our beliefs. So in which way do we want to look upon the world?

This Wall of Light is a gift and a great “thank-you to Saint Barths,” which allowed me to realize the connection that exists between our Consciousness and the Universe. It is also a “Tribute to the Bucket Regatta,” to Sweden by the choice of colors, and to the Sea.

A great “thank-you” also to the physicists who work for all of us.

My researcher and artist’s point of view has come to the conception that the world has the beauty of our way of looking upon it.
