Piguet thinks Pigeau's works are able to invite the audience to reconsider and get to know about the world.

Pigeau's Chinese destinations for artistic inspiration have included Beijing, Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, Leshan in Sichuan province, the grottoes of Gansu province's Dunhuang and Henan province's Longmen, as well as Dehua county, in Fujian province, known for white porcelain produced there.

Three pieces of his series Akade, or meditative spaces, are exhibited, conveying his understanding of Buddhism.

The outer surfaces of two of these works, one made of plaster and another of marble, look like samsara pagodas, while the hollowed-out golden insides resemble the contours of the Buddha.
