My photographic career is deeply rooted in a singular culture, where artistic practice becomes a means of evoking and weaving narratives through images. It's a silent dialogue with memory, whether collective or intimate, that I question and revisit. It is with this in mind that my new series, entitled Phratrie, was born, an exploration that highlights a gestural language and an expressive physicality that bear witness to the presence of bodies from the diaspora as well as those embodying the nation.
The family photographs I create evoke the transmission between generations, the psychic links woven between the members of a lineage and their ancestors, while incorporating the theme of death.

The photography becomes a precious means of preserving the memory of those who have gone before us, a fight against oblivion in the face of the multitude of memories and traces of life, even those of anonymous people. Death, the subject I tackle, allows me to grasp the inevitable, this invisible but omnipresent reality in our memories and on the stage of life. The presence of plant forms in my compositions acts as a metaphor, a symbol for exploring the notions of roots and territory, thus inscribing my work in a reflection on identity and belonging.
