Leaf after leaf, we discover them and the question grows. Are these evanescent beings appearing or disappearing? Vanishing, evaporating, volatilizing, or thickening, strengthening, hardening, and taking? They are alive, incontestably. On this point, the warmth of their colors and the rhythm of their animations are formal. Yet, they seem hesitant to us, as if tossed in a continual ebb and flow, occupying a sort of in-between, a precise point where on the one hand they can move toward liquefaction, dilution, dissolution, and on the other toward strengthening, consolidation, and the affirmation of a thickness, a weight. As if these beings were standing there, in this moment of suspension, between systole and diastole:
between this contraction of the heart by which the blood is sent to the arteries and the relaxation of this same heart during which it fills with the blood which returns to it. Point of balance where the living persists in its being, empties and fills itself, gives itself to be seen in order to vanish, and vanishes in order to give itself to be seen.
Oh yes! One last thing. Let it be said: Doki doki is a Japanese onomatopoeia used to express the sound of the beating heart.
