The installation Les herbes de passage (Lièvre) is part of a series of installations that poetically suggest the phenomenon of zoochory. Here, a green hare runs through a porcelain landscape that evokes labyrinthine shrubbery. Some kind of foliage emerges subtly from his ear, suggesting that not only does he contribute to spreading seeds and various plant species, but that these plants are sprouting from him too. At the foot of the mural, arrangements of plastic containers cast in porcelain, evoking a studio landscape, are combined with fruit, also cast in porcelain, which makes reference to still lifes in which scenes of hunting and fruit are often found together.
