ABOUT THE SERIES
Just a drop of chaos
This series was born from a period of uncertainty.
A time when I could no longer tell
whether I was sinking or transforming.
I came to understand that metamorphosis often requires a kind of dissolution :
the softening of an old identity, the willingness to move through emotional storms, and the acceptance of not knowing what will emerge on the other side.
Like a caterpillar dissolving in the darkness of its chrysalis
before reinventing itself as a butterfly,
we sometimes need to surrender to chaos
in order to be transformed.
Through this series, I allowed myself to explore darker inner waters and the unexpected beauty that can arise from it.
Each artwork began with an underwater photograph, created through a process that mirrors the ideas that are at the heart of the series.
During the shoot, I chose to set aside my usual desire for control and make room for instinct, uncertainty, and accident.
Guided only by a shared mood, the model improvised freely, responding intuitively to the sensation of immersion and to the way her body moved in the water.
In post-production, I layered these photographs with painterly textures, gradually shaping each image into a lush composition where beauty emerges from an organic, baroque chaos.
From the water to your walls
Selected photographs from this underwater collection
are available as fine art prints.
