Metamorphosis
My lens is drawn to the hidden dialogues within the natural world. My ongoing series ‘Metamorphosis’, photographs of granite rocks taken in various locations in Brittany and Sardinia, exemplifies this fascination.
These images transcend the boundaries of time and place to form a cohesive exploration that challenges traditional views of nature. Inspired by Paul Valéry’s notion of the power of imagination, I invite viewers to consider these rocks not just as geological formations, but as potential catalysts for the mind to create new forms and narratives. I think the objective reality conceals secrets and in my photographic practice, I aim to make visible what is hidden in the ordinary. Wind, time and water have sculpted granites: their surface, struck by light or shrouded in shadow, their sensual curves that are the subject of my visions, evoke bodies, wounds, faces, as if there was a kind of universal syntax underlying natural forms, revealing analogies between the mineral and the anthropic dimension.
