Inspired by the news of the migrant crisis, this work speaks of the need for everyone to get by in life, to climb up in society. Taking up the traditional religious iconography of the Assumption, its title and its serpentine composition, several figures occupy the space, trying their hand at a human pyramid to get something from the top of a pole. An Assumption or a social ascent? The artist chose this subject to evoke difficult experiences that she wanted to transcend. He reminded her of her helplessness in front of the installation of new neighbors, refugees at the Saint-Martin canal in the 10th arr of Paris in 2004. More distant and more dramatic, the camps in Calais, still sensitized her when she lived in Lille and went too far. Something had to be done. The artist paints and tries to see the bright side, a lesson to be learned, a universal experience to share.
