Each embroidered photograph adds a tactile element, showcasing the uniqueness of each athlete and highlighting their dedication. The…

Seaside houses The "crampotes" of the old harbor in Biarritz (photographs 1 to 5) helped me to create this series, beacause of their simplicity.

All of them belong to “Clean Lines” theme of…
