The delicacy of her creations is underlined by the prevailing white, that results in transparency, illusions and light tricks. It is not the indiscriminate white nor the modeled paper figure that appears within her works, but it's the “in-between" that makes them tremble, breathe like arrows in the air, in full swing. This intention to remain in the essential and vital vibration does not come without danger. The outcome, the conceiving thought are suspended in a void. If the tension disappears, this void can dissolve and take everything away, thus dragging the work in the abyss.cce. Claudine Drai engages in a dangerous one-on-one with the angels, who are all the spirits of her work. It is precisely because this danger can dissolve everything in whiteness that it forces us to be acute, on the lookout, increasing our senses capacity as well as our understanding. Claudine Drai offers us this reality enhanced by consciousness and the sensations caused by the risk of no longer perceiving, of no longer seeing. This awakening opens up the field to an aesthetic adventure where the slightest counterpoint, the slightest twirl, the slightest modulation construct the meaning of the work. Rather than offering a fixed image, the work reveals itself gradually, depending on the viewer’s position, attention, and duration of encounter. Each element is carefully calibrated to foster an encounter that is both fragile and profound, inviting the viewer into a heightened awareness of presence.
