Esprit fête embodies the spirit of celebration—an animated, almost ceremonial figure that channels joy, movement, and shared energy. Closely connected to the artist’s work Je n’ai pas sommeil (I’m Not Sleepy), the sculpture acts as a symbolic companion, evoking wakefulness, creativity, and the refusal of stillness. Rendered in glazed ceramic with a reflective, grid-like surface, the figure feels both playful and talismanic, grounding exuberance in a physical form. De Chabaneix has even reimagined this character as a silver jewellery piece, extending its meaning as a personal emblem of creativity and festive vitality.
