Essamba Art – Discover the world through the eyes of Angèle Etoundi Essamba

TERRITOIRES

Territories unfolds as a quiet meditation on presence without form,
on thresholds that hold more than space—they hold stories.

Variation of textures with deep tones enriched with memories.
Each door is both barrier and invitation,
each frame a silent witness, a whisper, evocative, suggestive,

A human presence is not seen, but felt,
behind, beyond, within.
Shoes rest before the entrance, as if just removed.

Behind each curtain, carefully chosen, full of meaning
a life unfolds. Lovers live their passion,
families take shape, secret gardens bloom in silence.
Intimacy dwells here, not to be violated—
shielded from every gaze, guarded, sacred.

The door becomes more than architecture.
It speaks of identity, of crossing and transition.
It stands between the known and the unknown,
between what is shared and what is held in silence.

How many are there, behind these doors?
Where lives are made and unmade,
born and ended, in the constant cycle of life.

From one frame to the next, we move between territories.
The one we have lived in, and the one that remains unnamed,
enigmatic, shifting.

Though the human figure remains absent,
her spirit moves through each curtain and breathes in the grain of mother earth colors.
Each passage in stillness is a step toward understanding what remains just out of reach.
