The silhouette of a man appears in the paper. He gives the impression of revealing himself, thanks to the fact that the layer of blue paint has been scraped away. The azure and pink colors, softer than in most of Michel Haas’s work, invoke a dreamlike quality. The anonymous silhouette walks towards the viewer, without him or her being able to know more.
