From the very title, the work Avec tes yeux, avec ta voix refers us to the body and the voice of the other and, more specifically, to the other who is the person loved, evoked and longed for in the distance. Each of the pieces that make up this four-color work is a phrase perforated in matter, a set of words made of emptiness that express the love that persists in the absence of the other (Malgré ton absence je t'aime), the intensity of a desire that makes the loving subject mimic the thoughts, dreams and desires of the loved one (C'est avec ta pensée que je pense, C'est avec tes rêves que je rêve, C'est avec tes désirs que je désire). The work makes evident the capacity of words to not only affect emotions and feelings, but also to strike the body and affect it physically. Avec tes yeux, avec ta voix also speaks to us of the word as a vehicle of love in the absence and distance of the beloved subject, of its capacity to represent the other and make him or her present.
