Domestic Landscapes | For the past decade, I have been photographing my twin sister, our mother, our grandmother, and the life we share surrounded by nature and animals. Intimacy and personal identity lie at the heart
of this long-term project.

At first, the photographs were spontaneous. They were simply the people closest to me when I began taking pictures as a teenager. Over time, however, the process revealed itself as something deeply autobiographical and intentional. Through this long-term work, I have gradually created my own visual family tree.

Nature and animals are not merely a backdrop but an essential presence in our lives. They shape the atmosphere of the images and mirror our instincts and vulnerabilities. Their presence reveals something raw and fundamental, reminding us of the fragile and instinctive nature of existence.

Photographing my mother, my twin sister, and my grandmother brings three generations into the same visual space, revealing the subtle threads that connect us. Within these shared moments, I began to question what is transmitted through time and space. In this sense, the work reflects on the delicate boundaries between life and death, presence and memory.

Is it strange to feel haunted or even inhabited by one’s own images? Some appear like sudden visions, instinctive and unbidden. Yet when I look closer, I realize they were always there, waiting beneath the surface.

This body of work is cathartic. What was once unspoken or repressed finds its place within these photographs, emerging here in a transformed form.

I am a photographer whose work explores intimate and collective narratives through place, memory, and relationships.

Rooted in personal experience, my practice moves between documentary and fine art photography, examining how identity is shaped by environment, family, and cultural inheritance. I am particularly interested in the tension between the private and the visible; what is transmitted silently through landscapes, gestures, and domestic spaces.

Through long‑term projects, I use photography as a tool for observation and introspection, allowing images to function as fragments of lived experience rather than fixed statements.

My work often navigates themes of belonging, intimacy, and transformation, using personal territory as a point of entry into broader social questions.

I studied photography at the École Européenne Supérieure d’Art de Bretagne and Rennes 2, and my work has been exhibited internationally in both solo and group exhibitions.

I am currently based in France and work on independent and collaborative projects.
