Français

This work is a story that goes full circle, reflecting a perpetual movement that would go until the end of times. Mostly through metaphoric images of vegetal and animal life, it is a poetic, artistic, and frank, vision of the tenets of the human psyche.

This work came to me naturally, through my connection to Denis Brihat my mentor, whose work, though in Studio, is a tribute to vegetal life and under an original inspiration owed to Edward Weston. With this work one can therefore see an evolution through 100 years of photography, both semantically and technically, From Weston, and then Brihat to this.
