Through her series Les puits du ciel, Chourouk Hriech continues her exploration of drawing through the use of vases, whose shapes refer to ancient times. Within these everyday objects, she draws birds, which she considers as allegories of spirituality, as manifestations of an endless and inaccessible 'elsewhere'. By opening the vase, the artist overturns realities and invites us to discover an imaginary ecosystem. She twists the initial function of the objects to explore new possibilities. The artist creates a paradox, reflected by the oxymoron in the title: the vases shelter another sky and the hollow space becomes infinite.
