Original artwork

I climb aboard and cast off. I let myself be carried by the northern gannets.
I trade the illusion of time, gravity, and the limits of space for the reality of my imagination.

Manon Potvin

In this dreamlike scene, Manon Potvin draws us into a journey where the laws of reality dissolve in favor of a free and poetic inner world. Carried by northern gannets—the iconic birds of Bonaventure Island—the strange ship becomes a symbol of departure into the unknown, guided by instinct, freedom, and the power of dreams.

Scattered clock fragments, the spiral of time, and fish rising from the water deepen the sense of a world in transformation, where everything becomes motion, passage, and metamorphosis. In the distance, the island appears as both a real and imagined destination, inspired by Bonaventure yet transposed into a poetic space where ordinary bearings disappear. The artwork invites us to surrender to the impulse of life, move beyond apparent limits, and enter an inner territory where everything becomes possible again.
