This series of pyrographies is inspired by the history of board games, starting from the Neolithic period. It reflects an interest in automatism, biological or mathematical order, and story. The use of fire, or high temperature, represents definitive decisions and irreversible actions. In seemingly organic and random situations, a mathematical system plays a major role, through which all the contained shapes are created. Painting and pyrography on wood, 40x30 cm.
