The sculpture ‘Les Falaises Numéraires’ expresses the materialisation of numbers in steel. The numbers can take on different forms thanks to the graphics.

The sculpture is made up of 81 T-shaped sections, with a straight back face and a randomly cut front face. In plan, the succession of T-shaped elements forms a candlestick graph. In perspective, the rear faces resemble bar graphs. The random cut-outs on the front can be interpreted as line graphs if we imagine that the X axis is parallel to the random cut-out and the Y axis is perpendicular to it.

The sculpture is both gentle in its curves and aggressive in its slats. It speaks of the ‘effort’ of our time to create numbers in a frantic quest for growth, without taking into account the consequences they have on our existence. These ‘consequences’ take the form of cliffs cut into slats for visitors to venture into.
