Our species evolves in a vast, closed world. Every day, the time dedicated to anything other than our human issues is infinitesimal, even though we share our lives with billions of other beings. We are suffocating ourselves, poisoning entire ecosystems in the process. It seems vital to me to decenter ourselves in order to rediscover the very concrete sensation of Nature as "what we are made of, what we are mixed with" (Maurice Merleau-Ponty).

This is the deep reason that drives me to create: to open a poetic space dedicated to the many non- human organic and inorganic beings, as we are caught within them and they within us. "All our atoms have given body to thousands of lives before ours — human, plant, bacterial, viral, animal — and will give reality to others in a dance that can never stop" (Emmanuele Coccia).

Beyond the identity of beings, I am interested in their flesh, woven with otherness. I search in their current form for traces of past or potential metamorphoses. I aspire to a "we" that is no longer solely human but encompasses light, minerals, plants, water, wind, animals, soil, and stars.

In my photographs, videos, and poems, I seek an organic communion, one that operates in time (we are made of an ancient material that will outlive us) and in space (we are connected to gigantic stars as well as to the tiniest corpuscles).

My visual practice is marked by the use of film and experimental techniques such as multiple exposure of negatives, film baths, or the use of expired film. I thus engage in a process that reduces the element of control, to make room for the joy of randomness.

Today more than ever, I believe in the need to offer spaces of resistance where we can encounter slowness, silence, and beauty. A beauty that is not artificial, but rather one that puts us in touch with an essential and restorative truth: that of our shared flesh.
