Hypochondria!! Melancholia!!, 2025-
This project aims to explore the role of traumatic experiences in personal history and to draw connections to others, less obvious forms of anxiety.
Where does the line between physical and mental illness lie? The various mediums used allow for the blending of the tangible and the intangible, questioning what the brain perceives as material or immaterial.

project combining photography, audio, collages, drawings, and poetry
The aim of this interdisciplinary project is to explore, for each individual, the role of memory, mourning, and postmortem remains ; as well as the space created for quiet reflection. The project involves a variety of tools that form the basis of the artistic work: words, objects, and gestures used to “say goodbye” constitute the essence of these poetic and visual objects.
The idea is to use these various mediums—whether reworked or not—to create an atmosphere that encourages the emergence of the invisible, which would reveal itself to the eye or the ear, bringing into focus what remains alive and what remains frozen in time (living vs. dead, speech vs. silence, etc.).
This visual art project is accompanied by a micro-sociological survey. By sociological survey, I mean specific questions asking the people photographed about their relationship to memory, memories, ancestors, and mourning. The artistic work is therefore intended to be collaborative.
ideals of fragments now unknown, 2023
disposable kodak 400
ideals of fragments now unknown recalls a love that is both absent and idealized, frozen in memory. The process behind these few photographs involved revisiting, alone, the places we used to go together.
The disposable camera allowed me to feel like the keeper of a box of memories that I could only access by choosing whether or not to develop the photos, but also to add a nostalgic and evanescent texture to them.
