Stardust

            The mural painted by the artist Ankh One illustrates the theme "vulnerability". In conversation, we realized that the artist's work and the farmer's work have many similar facets. We all live moments of vulnerability, at specific times in our lives, on Earth. These moments shape us as individuals, make us complete. The mural depicts the balance between humankind, nature and the comos: three elements that form a harmonious whole, precious, but also fragile. One may read the mural from left to right, much like a story unfolding. Its starting point being the human element, the man who gazes away towards the right, then, a lyrical representation of nature follows and contrasts with what is infinity, space, which we can consider like a field of possibilities, inspirations. Each environment influences the other and we're not always in control of what comes, but a balance seems to comfort us, helps us realize our projects and ambitions. Abstract colour markings represent those of pen markings and are a symbol of the future in construction, as it always is. The colourful abstract shapes remind us of arial views of fields. We can also see  the central element of the mural is a collection of three wheat stems, the cereal that has long been cultivated by the Lalande family. The artist chose to paint an arial view of the Lalande Farm to reflect the important elements in our lives that are shaped by the effects of this point of equilibrium in the universe, influenced by humankind, nature and the cosmos. The artist also painted a swallow that flies over the Lalande Farm, having somewhat made this arial space its own, to watch over the Farm or simply to assume its role as the Farm's official mascot.
