Fine Art nominee

I have with these leaves a terrible love story. All started with a video art project. I found an Aralia in my neighborhood more than a year ago, a splendid tree composed of large green leaves. I took dozens of sheets that I photographed with a light so bright that I burned them. They stayed in my studio hung on the wall. I had to move on, I had to leave them. I realized this last series with them, to thank them for having accompanied me in my understanding of the nature, and to apologize for having mistreated them.

I was born in 1978 in the Paris region. Since my earliest childhood, my imagination has helped me to go through reality and to try to understand it. Creativity is a necessity, images are poems that I cannot write.

In 2007, my first documentary production, Amazonia Grillada, took me to the Brazilian Amazon to make a documentary on the expropriation of traditional populations. This seven-month experience in the field has profoundly affected my sensitivity to environmental and humanitarian issues.

In 2015, I began a long-term photographic work in partnership with the association "Little Brothers of the Poor" in order to highlight the precariousness among the elderly in France. Today, this work is being read by publishers.
