ARTIST BIO
Self-taught photographer, I see my camera as a trusted travel companion. Together, we explore the world, capturing the deeply sensitive while remaining ready to be awed by unexpected intimacies. My work has been featured in collective exhibitions and publications, both online and in galleries. In a parallel life, I am a clinical psychologist with nearly 12 years of experience and numerous articles published in psychoanalytically-oriented journals—often drawing inspiration from the arts.
PROJECT STATEMENT
An inner voice whispers : ‘’Hold a balloon before your head. Reach the pink lakes and the blue volcanoes. Provide the sun with a base. Lose your visage in the ocean, and unlearn in order to be.'’ I let this relentless calling guide me, entering a dreamlike state where the familiar becomes something more - a passage between worlds, a gap into the unknown. What if this balloon reveals rather than conceals, turning the visible into a gateway to the infinite?
My identity becomes an open space, a meeting place between the intimate and the common, an incessant renewal. J’espérais un visage, j’ai vu des pyramides.
