This modern and minimalist series is graphically a tribute to three « Food » items in a wide acception by representing their delicate balance of circumstances that its have encountered throughout history. Through twists of fate or the deliberate choices of our ancestors, these items have become essential elements of French culinary culture.
Take pancakes, for example. Through a long evolution spanning millennia on the European continent, they evolved, with the cultural contributions of the Anglo-Saxons and the Dutch, into a true gastronomic emblem in Canada and North America, and then, through a process of cultural exchange, back into France due to the intermingling of these cultures during the initial conquest of North America.
Or consider squash, brought back to Europe during Christopher Columbus's early voyages. In France, this became a staple of soups during the colder months, providing essential nutrients when other plants were dormant.
Finally, there's the miracle of the clementine, which, from its discovery in Algeria at the beginning of the 20th century by a monk with a passion for botany, to its successful establishment in Corsica thanks to the island's unique microclimate, now keep on brightening the holiday season with its sweetness.
