In "Jardins grouillants", Sophie Rozenn Boucher explores the subtle connections between insects and plants. Her images compose swarming worlds in which the smallest details become a starting point for seeing the biodiversity around us in a new light. The artist combines watercolor, cyanotype, and digital collage. Watercolor brings transparency, color, and movement. Cyanotype, an early photographic process that uses a photosensitive emulsion, reveals the imprints of plants in shades of blue. Digital tools then allow her to layer, arrange, and create a dialogue between these elements. Blending close observation of nature with poetic imagination, the exhibition aligns with the mission of the Marais: to spark curiosity about natural environments and to remind us of the essential presence of the often-overlooked life forms that inhabit them.
