[English follows] "Fidèle à mon habitude de dessiner des oiseaux quotidiennement, et en lien avec ma réflexion sur la quête de liberté, le mouvement qu’elle implique et le rêve qui en est le moteur, qu’il soit social ou individuel, ce dessin représente un envol d’oiseaux de différentes espèces. Par leurs couleurs bleues et leur mouvement, ils forment un ciel bleu." - LZ

"True to my habit of drawing birds on a daily basis, and in line with my reflections on the quest for freedom, the movement it implies and the dream that drives it, whether social or individual, this drawing depicts a flight of birds of different species. Their blue colors and movement form a blue sky." - LZ
