Body art - L'art du corps

The novel's introspective tone really made me think about how art can serve as a way to process loss. I wonder if this perspective was inspired by real artistic struggles or purely fictional.

The pacing allowed for reflection but sometimes felt lingering. Was this intentional to mirror the protagonist’s processing, or did it just happen naturally?

The story’s quiet, almost dreamlike quality added a layer of mystery. I’d love to know what inspired the author to tell the story through this lens.
