Context
In this work I adopt an animal-like posture, often close to the ground, in shaded areas where human, vegetal and mineral bodies brush against one another and where materials accumulate, overlap and transform. By slipping beneath branches, between stones, into the hollows of the earth, I adopt a gaze that is no longer strictly human, but instinctive, sensory, almost furtive. Each photograph functions like a sample, an excerpt from a broader and undefined territory, playing with the ambiguity of textures and scales. I do not seek to hierarchize mineral, organic, and living matter. This approach draws equally from bodily experience and from scientific inquiry, examining details as one would study a terrain, a skin, or a living sedimentation. Materials become clues. The body, sometimes visible, sometimes merely suggested, appears as a natural extension of the landscape.
