She looks for particularly raw sites, exposed to winds, where human presence is rare or even absent.

She usually travels about twenty kilometres. Afterwards, she goes to a café, and there, she has the feeling to have dreamed, the agitation of the world takes again its ordinary place…

Lumière lointaine compressée by Bettina Gouchet

Strangely, the emptiness is a source of fullness and serenity: thoughts come and go like the sand of the winds and waters. It’s a kind of intimacy with nature. In her eyes. nature is shaped with art, and the result is a striking visual: the sounding tables seem to resound and the Mother Water vibrates with her intense salt, a recurrent element in Gouchet’s pictures. Salt is a gift from Mother Nature for humans. Positive and essential. And for Gouchet, it’s no less than a work of art.

“To the natural settings, in a way, almost archaic landscapes … Finally, this emptiness is a source of fullness and serenity: thoughts come and go to the sand of the winds and waters. It’s a kind of intimacy with nature”.
