Yves Klein I, 2024. Mineral pigment on paper. 30 × 40 cm
This work reimagines school chalk by transforming it into color, texture, and volume—breaking from its conventional use to create a vibrant surface marked by imperfections and chromatic traces. Part of the series The Truth About Nostalgia, it offers a poetic shift between affective memory and cultural critique. Chalk—symbol of education and ancestral communication—no longer writes but builds. Its flaws and variations reveal influences of minimalism and geometric abstraction, challenging standardization and evoking the philosophy of difference.
