“La Fête” portrays the unique way an autistic person experiences celebration. Outside the window, movement, noise, and social excitement pulse with energy. But inside, a woman stands in her own quiet festivity — one made of soft light, gentle colours, and peaceful perception. My work reflects how autism can transform celebration into intimacy, where joy is not loud, but deeply felt. It is a moment of sensory harmony rather than overstimulation. “La Fête” invites the viewer to discover a different kind of celebration: serene, perceptive, and profoundly emotional — where stillness becomes its own form of joy.
