Whirling eyes. They blend water with ashes, venom with chameleon hues. Anger fades. The walls regain their solidity after absorbing the storm’s colors. These walls bear textures and old memories, still damp with fear. The room drowns, but the body stands, blue and fluid, unwavering.
This series of images recounts an earthbound journey into the unfamiliar, a venture toward a fantasized fiction, skirting the edges of illusion. Conceived as an atlas draped on a blue wall, these images lean toward the imaginary. They are projections into the fantastic, reminiscent of mirages and feverish dreams, where the central idea is to linger, to pause indefinitely within a familiar yet deceptive landscape.
Throughout the creation process, poetic and fragmented images emerge, revealing delicate, personal stories on paper and screen. Under black light, invisible colors on the negatives spring to life, evoking their own mysterious worlds. The sensitive Mimosa Pudica and the bright chameleon transform, as if metamorphosing with the gaze of the viewer as the catalyst. Other images explore themes of mimicry, camouflage, and our primal connections to the animal and plant kingdoms, unfolding into scenes that invite the viewer to question where the human, animal, and vegetal merge into one.
