Il m’a fallu des années pour sortir cet artiste incomparable
qu’est Gil Roman du maquis mental où il s’enfermait avec
ses fantasmes, ses amours, ses complexes!

I rewound the video and watched the same words appear and disappear several times, until I learnt them by heart.
I realised that I, too, had to get out of my mental maze, where I had shut myself up for so long with my fantasies, my passions, my fears; that I, too, needed to leave the srubland of my entangled mind, if I wanted to live, and create, and give.
A veil of mist lifted and I finally saw reality in its full pliancy.
I was ready to interact.
