This is not a blue bottle
A journey from the abstract to the most fiery of emotions in the infinite realm of blue
« This is not a blue bottle 1.1 », « This is not a blue bottle 1.2 » and « This is not a blue bottle 1.3 »
This is not a blue bottle derives its name from The Treachery of Images, a famous work in the 1920s by the Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte. The painting shows the image of a pipe above a declaration which reads, translated from French, as “This is not a pipe”. In between the line where things go from void to existence, there is a profound depth of possibility.
This is not a blue bottle is the allegory of a fragrant big bang, a journey from the abstract to the most fiery of emotions in the infinite realm of blue. This is the expression of an olfactory hallucination and a blue page representing freedom of expression for all.
« This is not a blue bottle 1.4 » and « This is not a blue bottle 1.5 » Ying & Yang
In the Yin Yang philosophy, every element in the universe has its own opposite: feminine-masculine, day-night, fire-water, natural-synthetic…
Yin & Yang are two complementary forces that are interdependent on one another. They are two aspects of the same reality.
1.4, Yin, the natural energy focus on itself, the inner power, the depth of the elements, the return to the sources and the reflection.
1.5, Yang, the synthetic energy entirely outward-looking, the creative power, the vivacity, the future, the evolution and the action.
« This is not a blue bottle 1.6 »
1./6 continues this series by the evocation of the most ineffable and powerful energy of all : Love. Inspired by « The Earth is blue like an orange », the love poem written by Paul Eluard to Gala –who would become Salvador Dali’s lover- 1./6 takes a surrealistic approach to paint the picture of leger and joyous loves. A striking opening of sparkly citruses summons the image of an evergreen love; whilst the heart of orange and jasmine blossoms hints at its purity. Juicy passion an orange in which you bite, bodies entwined in white flowers and musks, 1./6 is the perfume of uplifting passions that enlighten the day, shake your senses up and open a world of possibilities.
