Dream the wave in Year of the Sea 2025
Dans cette page
Dream the wave on a horizon a promise. This is the phrase written in large letters on the top of Les Ponchettes in Nice, facing the sea. It’s one of the works of Art dans la ville, on the occasion of the Year of the Sea 2025 in Nice.
Not very clear to some, it’s true that it challenges in its formulation.
And yet, it holds the attention, it questions, it captivates.
Songer la vague
Songer la vague, not the ones we see, the wave we imagine, the one that flees to other places, other people, elsewhere, far from here. Or the one that will arrive soon, carrying the soul of elsewhere, all charged with who knows what yet.
On a horizon
On a horizon, over there, far away, towards infinity, under an ill-defined sky that we can’t reach but which exists, a horizon like an Eden barely glimpsed, so far away, so near, a horizon full of expectation and already carrying meaning. A horizon, like everyone’s own.
A promise
it’s a promise of expectation, of discovery, of pleasure. A world opening up, pushing its limits ever further and yet bringing them ever closer to us. Hope like an outstretched hand.
So, is everything said on this page? Not at all. This is an impression, a personal interpretation, but you, you’ll have your own. And every interpretation has its value.
