Water is everywhere in the park of Versailles: like the fluids that circulate between the different organs of the human body, water separates the different spaces while connecting them.

Once the original marsh was cleaned and while still respecting the desired perspective, Le Nôtre undertook the design of several artificial ponds. Canals, basins, and groves play with the asymmetry of their respective geometric shapes and with the horizontality of water, in the different waterfalls, jets and cascades. By creating, today, a gigantic Fountain 100 meters high - 328 feet - , I wish to accompany Louis XIV's project using the scale of the park. As the inverted image of a liquid's natural flow, the jet of water only exists through the release of energy, as well as by setting in motion its only constituent element.

Like the stream of a cascade flowing backwards - a metaphor of going back in time - this dynamic and vertical sculpture will evolve according to the natural elements that compose it, rain and the surrounding winds, which will affect its shape.
