Shards

Shards are the crumbs, the fragments, what remains when everything explodes. We must continue when what has always been there shatters and scatters. Fragility becomes the driving force for reinvention. I explored the cracks and breaches of human beings, to create a portrait of their vulnerability and emotions. I used photography not as an end, but as an act, where the creative process is more important than its result. I destroyed, burned, reused images, photographed irregular textures. My work serves to see human fragility as a way to position oneself against the grain of a rigid, framed world.

 

Harsh Ground

The fog guided my gaze, revealing random textures and shadows, which appear as fragments of reality. I wanted to represent intimacy through organic materials, unstable presences. The misty landscapes become interior landscapes. Landscapes that can be damaged, but are also gentle.

 

Hannya

Hannya, a Japanese demon from Noh theater. Originally a woman wounded by her husband or men, she transforms into a vengeful creature. Consumed by her emotions and obsessions, she constantly struggles. This photographic project explores female anger and its outbursts, often repressed and stifled. Here, photography becomes an act of release, a space where emotional excesses can be fully expressed. The destroyed negatives bear witness to an explosive rage, coexisting with calmer images in an attempt to find balance in the destruction.

 

Photographic Chimera

The chimera is a monster made up of fragments of different animals. Inspired by this multi-limbed creature, I decided to reuse failed photographic prints to create new ones. When making photo prints, there are often failures, imperfect elements that end up in the trash. To avoid wasting anything, I chose to recycle these images by assembling them, to give birth to new creations. This allows me to imagine a technique for creating new images endlessly despite accidents. It's a way to embrace mistakes and see them as a source of creativity. Anything can become a medium for creation. Using mixed media, painting, embroidery, collage, I create photographic chimeras where mistakes are a source of creativity. 

 

MURMURE

 “The skin envelops and embodies the person (...). Its texture, its complexion, its scars, its particularities (moles, wrinkles, etc.) create a unique landscape. Like an archive, it preserves the traces of individual history, like a palimpsest to which only the individual holds the key.” David The Breton.

 My work explores the relationship between skin and the earth through scars and marks. The skin carries a story told by scars resulting from burns, operations, falls, etc. Often hidden or feared, they tell a story without revealing too much. They are the writing of the body, whispering moments of vulnerability. In the same way, the earth bears witness to its history through marks such as cracks and crevices. My photographs seek to represent fragility and resilience. I then photographed loved ones in order to meet profoundly. I captured scars as if they were landscapes while highlighting the physical aspect of the earth. The correspondence between skin fragments and fragments of earth highlights the world's capacity to rebuild and regenerate itself.
