Billie Mertens' prints express the vanity of things, the finitude of the human condition in the face of the indeterminate power of nature. Going beyond the simple appearances of observational drawing, in an intermediary place between derision and metaphysical melancholy, a game of poetic, graphic and technical opposition is established. The gesture of representation serves as a way of holding on to life in extremis, a last-ditch attempt to keep a window open in an environment in decline and thus reveal the heroic aspect of nature.
