The scout is a staging of energies produced by the meeting of opposing elements.
It is an environmental sculpture that uses the unevenness of the terrain to reinforce these oppositions, these encounters between the following elements: water and fire; machined materials and non-machined materials; vertical elements (lighthouse, character) and horizontal elements (waves);
Oxidized surfaces and stainless surfaces. These are all concepts brought into play to represent the foundations of hydroelectric production: a fusion between human work and its environment.
