«Le Paradis des Orages»
I seek to establish a connection between the medium of my prints and the bodies I photographs. This is why I chose steel, a material that naturally evolves over time. Each print oxidizes, scratches, and becomes marked. I documents these transformations by photographing them at different stages. These images bear witness to the way matter changes, much like the bodies they represent.
This body of work constitutes a reflection on time, alteration, and natural evolution. It allows me to liberate myself from a certain melancholy by sublimating it into a concrete form. These images speak of desire and passion, of what marks, transforms, and leaves a trace.
