Photomanipulation 1st place winner

Each idiomatic expression is a story in itself, but what if we take them quite litterally, in order to make them tell an altogether totally different one?
In French, Entrer comme dans un moulin [literally, Going in as in a windmill] refers to a place in which it's extremely easy to get in.
By extension, it is sometimes used to qualify a popular place.
This is the meaning I chose to work on, reflecting on the the way our surroundings influence us and shape our identity through the depiction of a woman whose personnality varies as long as she approaches the mill, but stays hopelessly identical when she exits it.

French photographer based in Brittany, I love to play with words and colours.

I'm currently working on a series focused on idiomatic expressions: the Literally series aims at questionning the language and its subjectivity, and by extent our relation to others and to reality.
It draws on the photographic language and the universal nature of images to give new meanings to these old idioms in order to make them tell a different story.
In colourful, multi-layered compositions, I tackle various relevant modern topics and let ultimately the viewer come up with its own interpretation.
