In the axis of the pyramids of Egypt, I wanted above all to make a simple gesture. Stephan Breuer's "icons" are mysteriously high-tech and spiritual, designed to connect our emotions to the sublime. I have been interested in the symbolism of icons for several years. These mystical works, with their gold background, refer to an intangible dimension and exert a real fascination. The word "icon" is also used in the digital world to signify an image, a file, or a sign. I wanted to invent a 21st-century icon.
