ravel plays a central theme in both the written and painted works of Mohammed Kacimi. In the series Traversée, Kacimi examines the plight of what he terms the "crossed body" (le corps traverse), in which the body is able to cross barriers of language, territory and race while staying in one location. Kacimi suggests that human diversity and movement is now such that the body does not travel the world, the world travels the body. Visually, he suggests this phenomenon by positioning a figure in relation to windowlike fields of color "to release his body" (pour libérer son corps).
