chimeras

Listen, O men, to the story of the works of Audrey Fléchet, the illustrious sculptress, who skillfully shaped bronze,

and who brought forth the centaurs, those strange and beautiful beings, half men, half horses, fiery as the wind and strong as heroes.

She made them born from the earth, from the flame and from the crucible, she gave them a soul, a voice and a chiseled face.

She made them live in bronze, and made them shine under the sun, she made them run in space, and made them leap towards the sky.

She made them fight and love, made them suffer and cry, and she made them laugh and sing, and made them dream and hope.

She made them speak to men, and made them bear witness to the gods.

She brought them into history, and brought them into heaven.

Come and admire, O men, the marvels of Audrey Fléchet, the divine sculptress, who created bronze with wisdom and who offers you the centaurs, these sublime and proud beings, half men, half horses, worthy of the art of Homer.
