[English follows] « Suite à mon travail sur Le chant des oiseaux (2019), je suis demeurée très attachée à la portée symbolique de La conférence des oiseaux (1177), un conte du poète soufi Farid-ud-Din’ Attar.Dans ce récit mythique persan, trente oiseaux partent à la recherche de leur roi, Simorgh. Cette quête leur fait traverser sept vallées qui représentent la recherche, l’amour, la connaissance, le détachement, l’unicité, la stupéfaction et l’anéantissement. Ce n’est qu’en arrivant au palais du roi et en voyant leur réflexion dans un miroir qu’ils comprennent qu’ils sont eux-mêmes le Simorgh qu’ils cherchaient. Le nom même de leur roi est d’ailleurs traduit du persan par le terme « trente oiseaux ». Ce magnifique récit se révèle être une métaphore sur la source de divinité qui se trouve en chacun de nous.» - LZ

“Following my work on Le chant des oiseaux (2019), I remained deeply attached to the symbolic significance of The Conference of the Birds (1177), a tale by the Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar.

In this mythical Persian tale, thirty birds set out in search of their king, Simorgh. Their quest takes them through seven valleys representing the search, love, knowledge, detachment, unity, bewilderment, and annihilation. It is only upon reaching the king’s palace and seeing their own reflection in a mirror that they realize they themselves are the Simorgh they have been seeking. Indeed, the name of their king translates from Persian as ‘thirty birds.’ This magnificent tale ultimately reveals itself to be a metaphor for the divine essence that resides within each of us. — LZ
