BÂTIR SES RÊVES

There are few countries where, through hard work, one can go as far as one’s dreams allow. Switzerland is one of them — and its dual education system is one of the reasons why. It offers everyone, regardless of their starting point, a concrete path toward excellence: learning a trade with one’s own hands, with discipline and precision, and turning that knowledge into a path toward everything one aspires to achieve.

​

This artwork speaks to that promise. A child, seated at his workbench at the summit of the Chasseral, has just completed his rocket. He has not merely drawn it: he has built it, piece by piece — and now it is already rising into the sky he has been gazing at, as a natural extension of his own gesture.

​

This summit was not chosen by chance. The tower that rises above the Chasseral, with its slender silhouette reaching toward the sky, seems ready to take flight itself — as though this place had always known that, from here, one could reach for the stars.

​

There is something both dizzying and magical in this child’s gesture: lifting up what he has created and working to make his dreams come true, reaching toward the vastness ahead, without hesitation and without limits.
