Faced with this thousand-year-old glacier, silence is like a prayer.

Faced with this thousand-year-old glacier, silence is like a prayer. Its imposing front, a cathedral of ice sculpted by the ages, dominates a secret bay, a forgotten jewel box at the end of the world. Each upright serac, each gaping crevasse, seems to whisper ancient tales of storms, howling winds and a time before humanity existed.

Deep, brilliant shades of blue intertwine like the veins of a beating heart, streaked here and there with tawny sediments, remnants of a tumultuous past. Immaculate white, dazzling in the pale light, crowns this natural edifice with divine majesty.

Where the ice breaks and spills into the icy abyss, the murmur of dark waters sings of nature's implacable force. Every crack, every flaw, bears witness to the mingled fragility and power, the wisdom that this giant of ice seems intent on imparting: a lesson in humility, in respect, before the untamed grandeur of the polar realms.

This glacier is not just a wall of ice; it is a living, eternal soul, reminding us of our tiny place in the immensity of the world.

In my photographic work I constantly seek out the raw, timeless beauty of nature by creating pared-down compositions through natural materials that I track down in wild, vast and intriguing environments. 

I strive to compose landscape images that eliminate visual distractions to emphasize the subtle details of natural textures and patterns. 

By using massive, primitive elements such as rocks, icebergs, glaciers and dunes, I create a visual tension that invites reflection on our place in the natural environment. 

I'm aware that this beauty is ephemeral and disappearing before our very eyes. It is with a sense of melancholy that I contemplate these wild and unique landscapes, conscious of their fragility in the face of the anthropic threats that weigh upon them.

It is for this reason that my photographic work explores and transcribes an ethereal, intriguing, obscure and enigmatic aesthetic that encourages contemplation and reflection on our relationship with nature. 

It's also a personal attempt to capture beauty through uncluttered compositions of imposing elements. 

I try to express a certain anagogy of landscape that imbues my images with a minimalist aesthetic. 

I am constantly inspired by the primitive, raw and minimalist simplicity of natural materials and elements.

I try to trigger an emotion in the viewer, whatever its register, as long as it triggers a reflection on our responsibility and duty towards our planet. 

My aim is to encourage an ever-renewed understanding of our relationship with nature, before it's too late.
