In the Primeval II series, the bold colours invite a discourse on what lies behind or beneath the surface of each individual. How do we deal with the unspeakable? Pierce the dark matter? Struggle to pass through the "event horizon" and overcome the emotional numbness in order to be alive again?

For Charles Baudelaire, the work of the poet is to transcend Evil to find “Beauty”, as he wrote in his book “The Flower of evil” (“Les fleurs du mal”), thinking that we can only achieve it, through the state of mind called spleen, which is death and destruction.

Jacqueline H-Botquelen takes us into an inner world where our primal being is built to survive, open to a state of resilience, seeding hope and beauty in its path.

"Melancholy is the glorious companion of beauty; it is so good that I cannot conceive of any beauty that does not carry its sadness within it."
