Forbidden drifts

A field of frozen water stretches as far as the eye can see -
the sea, bristling with errant splinters, littered with fragments of silence.
Each piece of ice floats like a detached memory,
and the horizon, where land is barely visible, seems to shun any attempt at approach.

Navigation is no longer a path,
but a suspended wandering, an impassable threshold.

There, in the cold immensity, an iceberg of intense blue watches over us.
Solitary. Present.
Like a ship on standby or an inner beacon,
it stands as a fragile marker of a world on the alert,
the icy guardian of inaccessible territories.

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.
