Her name: Céline Domas.
Here are her images and the lovely accompanying text!
“Unsaid” offers a vision of the intimate and the feminine, two themes at the heart of my work.
Through this silence, the image also addresses the unspoken. I think of my daughters as adults, of all the women I’ve met, of all the things I would have liked to say.
My expatriation to Baltimore in 2009 marked the beginning of my commitment to photography, and my writing was shaped by my travels, my daily life, and my questions.
Certain photographers have had a major influence: Gregory Crewdson, Todd Hido, Dolores Marat, and Margaret Durow. Discovering their work literally captivated me.
My photography seeks to define the contours of a dream capable of transcending the here and now. It is a gaze that distances itself from reality to better reveal its poetry.
There are all these things I would have liked to say. And those that are said, not with words but through photography.
Photographing the intimate
It is revealing who we are. It is wanting to bring to consciousness a realm filled with solitude and silence.
It is allowing emotions to express themselves to give a poetic dimension to human existence. This laying bare of the Self in all its uniqueness confronts reality in order to better grasp its fragility and make it more acceptable.
To detach ourselves from it.
A brutal desire to scatter images across the floor.
To let time stretch out outrageously.
And to watch the rain fall tirelessly behind the window.
To continue to exist.
