Composed from a mirrored quadrant of the Palais Royal’s neoclassical façade, this image reframes the architectural grandeur of 18th-century Paris into a new kind of viewing device. At its core, a precise alignment of cornices, windows, and sky creates a geometric “oculus,” surrounded by rhythmically repeated windowpanes.

Through this structure—ornate yet restrained—emerges an unexpected apparition: a single waterlily from Monet’s Nymphéas Bleus, suspended in the center. The effect is both formal and fluid, suggesting a conversation across centuries: from the ordered elegance of Enlightenment-era design to the immersive atmosphere of late Impressionism. The photograph becomes a frame for impossible connections—between architecture and painting, structure and dream.
