The lithograph is part of a series of 4 works, titled "Cahiers d'ombres", which was inspired by the a book of poetry written by Philippe Denis.
"Est-ce un signe?
– si vivre est le secret de la terre
que je vois
lent secret en elle..."
"Is this a sign?
- if living is the secret of the earth
that I see
slow secret in her..."
(Shadow Book, p. 61)
