## About the Artwork

**"Rebirth"** is a verb that means **"returning to life after death or having experienced an end"**. In the context of the phoenix, this refers to the belief that the phoenix is a mythical bird that dies as it burns and rises from the ashes. This resurrection symbolizes a new life, a renewal, a new beginning. Phoenix is often considered a symbol of resurrection, rebirth and immortality.

The choice of this slogan comes from the rennaissance of Paris over the centuries. They are marked by significant architectural and cultural transformations, while others have seen the emergence of new ideas and new artistic and social movements. But it is also a rebirth after each conflict accompanied by a reconstruction of the city.

The work is inspired by the **Moulin Rouge** and its various representations over the centuries. The color red and the heart are central symbols in the history of the Moulin Rouge. This choice is due in particular to the role that this institution played in the emergence of shows, which perfectly follows the choice made by the delegation: **to offer you the best possible show**.
