to My Grandfather Frédéric Gerard
My Dear Grandfather,
You and I have the same first and last name.
Yet I know almost nothing about you, a photo.
I would have loved to meet you so much…
In June 2022, during a short stay in Lacanau Océan, a department of Gironde in which your family lived for several years after your disappearance, I wished in the depths of myself to honor your memory.
This is why I made this photo series composed of writing and drawings on this beach in Aquitaine according to my hypersensitivity and my heart…
Proximity to water has always been an inspiration to me.
I hope you like it from up there…
