[FR] "C'est une lame de la mer. Elle incarne le flux et le reflux, ses ondulations sensibles, ses rythmes vivants. Composée de rasettes juxtaposées, elle prend en charge la symbolique de la voile, tout en évoquant les sillons du voyage ferroviaire., puisqu'elle m'a été commandée pour l'inauguration du TGV Atlantique."

Celle-ci est un moyen de symboliser le thème du départ, de la migration à laquelle est liée l’image de l’oiseau. Des herses extraites de la terre suggèrent à Manoli une grande voile. Cet enchaînement symbolique superpose l’idée du voyage, de l’infini vers le large, celle du rêve et de l’apesanteur. Ainsi, Manoli explique que « comme le soc laboure la terre, le TGV sillonne le paysage, la voile du TGV Atlantique vole vers le « large ». »

[EN] "It is a sea slide, it embodies the ebb and flow, its sensitive undulations, its living rhythms composed of juxtaposed skimmers, it supports the symbolism of the sail, while evoking the furrows of the sea. rail trip, since it was commissioned for the inauguration of the TGV Atlantique. "

This is a way of symbolizing the theme of departure, of the migration to which the image of the bird is linked. Harrows from the ground suggest to Manoli a large sail. This symbolic sequence is superimposed on the idea of ??travel, from the infinite to the open, that of dreams and weightlessness. Thus, Manoli explains that "as the plow plows the land, the TGV crosses the landscape, the TGV Atlantic sail flies towards the" wide ". "
