Y
Y : la naissance d’un nouveau rameau qui grandira à partir du corps de sa branche parente donne cette forme caractéristique, répétée autant qu’il y a de branches. Y, ou la ramification. De Y en Y : la plante - la racine, le fleuve - croît, parcourt.
Figure, forme archétypale qui se transmet. De la trace au symbole, la forme de ce lien entre deux branches peut faire penser à un alphabet primitif. La lettre phénicienne d’où vient notre Y signifiait hameçon, ou crochet.
Y prêt à pousser, ramifier, s’étendre. Y fragment, mesure, intervalle.
L’étymologie nous ramène à la branche : du lat. intervallum, de inter, entre, et vallus, pieu - proprement l’espace entre deux palissades.
Branche compagne de mesure, de distance, scande nos pas, par intervalles.

Y: the birth of a new branch that will grow from the body of its parent branch gives this characteristic shape, repeated as many times as there are branches. Y, or branching. From Y to Y: the plant - the root, the river - grows, travels.
Figure, archetypal form that is passed on. From trace to symbol, the form of this link between two branches may remind us of a primitive alphabet. The Phoenician letter from which our Y comes meant hook.
Y ready to grow, to branch out, to extend. Y fragment, measure, interval.
Here, the open area between two branches: an interval of air, or of paper. The etymology brings us back to the branch: from the Latin intervallum, from inter, between, and vallus, stake - properly the space between two fences.
A branch that is a companion of measure, of distance, marks our steps, by intervals.
