In this original drawing by Bénédicte Thoraval, we observe a natural scene that evokes an entrance or point of passage. This piece was featured in the exhibition cabane clac shack! in Metaxu, Toulon, France. Thoraval’s work spans various mediums including drawing, mixed media installations, and textiles. With a keen eye for detail, Thoraval explores the mythical and everyday forms of nature and human relationships.
