In a recent feature on nocomment.mg, Hary, the infographic artist, participated in the renowned Pivot questionnaire, a series of 10 questions designed to delve into one's thoughts and preferences. The exercise, originally conceived by Bernard Pivot, aims to uncover the respondent's innermost feelings on various aspects of life. For Hary, this was an opportunity to share his perspectives with a wider audience.

When asked about his favorite word, Hary chose "partage," emphasizing the importance of generosity in life. Conversely, he expressed his distaste for "jalousie," highlighting that it serves no purpose. His affinity for music was evident as he cited it as his favorite indulgence, finding solace and escapism in its melodies. The sound of his motorcycle resonated with him, while the screeching of chalk on a blackboard was a noise he detested.

Hary's responses offered a glimpse into his personality and values. He selected "merde" as his preferred expletive and expressed openness to having either a man or woman featured on a new banknote. The artist confessed that he would not have enjoyed working in an office, valuing his freedom above all else. In a thought-provoking answer, Hary chose the lion as the animal he would like to be reincarnated into, drawn to its majesty and strength.

The questionnaire also probed Hary's spiritual inclinations and aspirations. If a deity exists, he would like to hear it say, "Ce monde-là est meilleur" after his passing. This statement reflects his hope for a better world beyond his current existence. The feature, compiled by Aina Zo Raberanto, provides a unique perspective on Hary's life and artistic vision.
