“While working on my 'City Poetry' project, I have been looking specifically for the character '福' meaning 'good fortune'. My aim was to gather one hundred of them in order to create this artworks that echoes with the traditional works made by calligraphy masters to show their creativity in writing the same character in different ways.” ––Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze
