Studying medical photographs and the world of stories inspired me to create various drawings and the photography series Post-Nature (2012-2014). Organic forms emerge and develop in a ghostly, mystical, dangerous, seductive, and fantasy-like atmosphere. The feel I evoke resembles the feel of the �Twin Peaks� series by David Lynch.

�Like an excerpt from a fictional world, these ‘animals, ships or monsters’ do not arise at the ‘wake of reason’; they are there at every moment, hidden by the thin veil of illusion and appearances”. With myths and legends, the artist exhibits what moves silently out of sight inside the body. The resulting mystery still amazes us and it cannot be exhausted. It is difficult for the viewer to understand what is reality or illusion. The fluctuating transition from one to another is in itself a metamorphosis which Christelle Mas keeps secret.�
