For Bou, the “organic form images” that result “stimulate the imagination,” in order to make “visible the invisible.” Thus, he says,
these works respond to the human yearning to fly through images at the “limits of human perception”—images “which are no longer a single portrait of reality but become a witness
of the instants that, for a moment, were past, present and future all at once” (Ramsay 2020)
