Why the title Troph\u00e9e (Trophy)? Why \"hunt for fences and gates topped with a fleur-de-lys to create this installation?\" Because, the artist\nsays : \"for centuries, monuments, coins, fabrics, tapestries, sculptures, statues, works of art, paintings were marked with the fleur-de-lys\".\nDuring the French Revolution, this symbol was \"profaned, dismantled, vandalised, beheaded, mutilated, burnt, destroyed : an ideological\npurification to sacrifice everything that evoked royalty\". This story is echoed today. \"In 2018, the restitution of the cultural heritage of Africa is\na source of debate. The word restitution implies awareness of one's own identity.
