« C’est comme une minicabine de bateau, j’y entasse mes nombreux loisirs – informatique, création graphique, jeux vidéo et musique. En écartant les bras, je touche tous les murs, mais c’est mon espace de régénération où seul le chat s’invite parfois. » « Niniche », « bureau », « cabane », « royaume », « sanctuaire »… Ces endroits à soi, où l’on ferme les écoutilles, pour travailler,…
