In the garden of adolescence, where dreams take root Blossom to bloom encapsulates the journey of transformation inherent in youth. What drives us forward, what compels us to create, is the longing for meaning, A rebellion against norms and the rigid structures that frame our insecurities. But amidst the rebellion, there is also play - a joyful exploration of the limits of our existence and the boundless potential within. Woven into this tapestry, Is the awareness of connection, the desire to believe in the rhizome of humanity, in the network we form: whether it be the web of human physical interconnection, or the sprawling expanse of virtual realms. Together, let us blossom into our fullest selves and bloom into a world of endless possibility to celebrate the resilience, creativity, and boundless potential of todays youth. As we navigate this journey from childhood to grown, we nurture the seeds we've sown for tomorrow's world.

This project was brought to life through the active involvement of young individuals from the Bruges area, aged between 13 and 17 years old, in a series of workshops. These workshops delved into their creative instincts, impressions, and experiences, seeking to uncover significant insights into today’s teenage life. Antoine opted to intertwine a symbolic narrative of nature's evolution and its intrinsic energy patterns, emphasising the significance of selecting positive influences to catalyze change. His aim was to reconnect participants with the primal roots of their biological nature, which the tide of progress often distances them from.
