L'or et l'orage, 2022
This series explores the profound identity shift triggered by motherhood—a vast confrontation with the cycles of life made up of peaks and abysses.
Through a collection of eclectic images, it captures the full ambivalence of this shattered everyday life. A place where life and death coexist closely and ceaselessly, where fear mingles with tenderness, ecstasy with anxiety, magic and frustration.
It is a rather closed universe, with a few glimpses toward a hypothetical Garden of Eden.
Childhood memories surface alongside animal figures—creatures that must be tamed unless we surrender to wildness.
In this attempt to navigate motherhood, the child is the unavoidable subject. The portraits with pictorial roots allow a confrontation with established representations, thus questioning the constructions elaborated by art history regarding motherhood.
The production unfolds through objects, prints and wallpaper.
Certain images become plates, transforming them into commemorative objects that evoke domesticity while deepening our connection to time and memory.
The recurring circular form resonates like a multitude of echoes to primal architecture, that of the womb, of burrows, of caves.
