The correlations between this material (cardboard) and the subject represented are both logical and conflicting. Eva Jospin explains that she approaches cardboard from the angle of its contradictions. At the end of this creative process, this raw, austere and apparently fragile medium will be mastered, tamed and even ennobled, to (re)become a tree, embodying the solidity of a trunk and the delicate complexity of a forest.

The correlations between this material and the represented subject, are both logical and conflicting. Eva Jospin explains that she approaches the cardboard on its oppositions. This raw, surly support and of fragile appearance, is going to be mastered, tamed, as ennobled for, in the term of this creative process, to ( re ) become a tree and to embody so the solidity of a trunk as the delicate complexities of a forest.
