ART PRINTS SERIES
Just a drop of chaos
« I want to grasp, but everything slips out. I want to understand, but it's chaos. A river too vast, too deep for my eager hands. »
— H. Michaux, Plume
This series was born…
… out of a haunting idea : water carries within it the chaos of all possibilities.
Water is a threshold, a suspended space between breath and oblivion. It cuddles and clutches. It cradles and drowns. Are we falling or emerging ? Is the embrace gentle or suffocating ?
In the depths, time stretches out, uncertain... Everything gets cloudy : contours fade, time dissolves, memories fray...
Just like an amniotic Styx, dark water holds the ghosts of what was and what will be. It is both womb and grave, promise and threat.
In this indecisive flutter, all that remains is the dance of sunken bodies, their silent dialogue with the darkness and the fascinating beauty of incertitude...
The process
All began with a breath-hold underwater photoshoot in my pool studio, during which I wanted to create a confusion of bodies and fabrics, and explore darker feelings. Instead of trying to set up precise poses, I worked with a dancer who was invited to focus on her sensations while struggling with the fabric and let her body react freely.
Then I carried out a meticulous process of selection, editing and digital painting... My idea was really to give the feeling that my character was drowning in liquid marble, in organic paint... I aimed to create pictures that would be very seductive to the eye, but with an eerie atmosphere as well.
