We recognize the face of a child and many pieces of wood that follow one another in a frenetic game of joints, mistakes, falls, attempts, and then finally, the right piece.

Like the path of family custody, we are on a path made up of different rhythms, the slowness of some moments, a new daily life where we get to know each other little by little, we help each other growing, changing, we get stuck in a shared learning of moments , face swaps.

There is also sweetness, welcome, fun, chaos, a leap into the dark and then satisfactions, the affection that becomes love, knowledge, generous union.

Mister Thoms' work is made up of smiles, children who get confused with the puppets, the loss of defined roles, courage, all in a creative and saving centrifuge.

Man becomes a puppet willing to trust and rely on a material geometry that seems both casual and prearranged.

The sky, a sleight of hand made of delicate balances.

A human industry that makes itself unexpectedly and incredibly better in being open to change, in having its hands touched its heart.
