"J’ai Perdu La Raison"

J’ai Perdu La Raison, meaning “I lost my mind,” turns the spiral into a psychological landscape. The pink line pulls the viewer inward again and again, creating the feeling of thought becoming obsession, memory becoming repetition, and reason slipping into a loop.

The dark background makes the piece feel intimate and cinematic, while the French phrase adds a sense of romance, madness, and surrender. It feels like a confession written at the edge of control, where the mind keeps circling the same idea until logic disappears.

This work connects directly to the Cannes spiral series, but here the spiral becomes less playful and more emotional. It is not just a beginning or a flower. It is the inside of the mind, turning endlessly, beautiful and unstable at the same time.
