The starting point is walking. I move across territories, here and farther away\u2014territories that call out to me. There is this notion of crossing: from one territory to another, from one border to the next, from undergrowth to a no man\u2019s land. I am drawn to this process\u2014from the collection of visual fragments through the photographic medium on the one hand, to their transcription, line by line onto paper, on the other.<\/p>\n
My iconographic choices are part of a broader engagement with living systems and endangered ancient ecosystems. This approach leads me to travel to sites marked by tension. I move mainly across France and Germany, meeting activist, associative, and artistic communities. Immersing myself in fragile territories and absorbing messages of activism and environmental concern enables me to translate this accumulation of landscape fragments into graphic form.<\/p>\n
From this immersion in the landscape emerge drawings as well as panoramas, most of them site-specific, all presenting a dichotomy between two worlds: representations of minimally anthropized nature contrasted with others where the extraction of raw materials is omnipresent. In my practice, the notion of landscape operates under multiple regimes. I seek to inscribe socio-political aspirations within it, revealing contemporary issues related to natural resources and their exploitation, inherited landscapes, transformed terrains, and newly formed environments.<\/p>\n
I conceive of landscape as a witness to human activity. Through this stubbornly blind grammar, I attempt to render perceptible the tipping point\u2014the inevitable, the vertigo, or the erasure.<\/p>\n
Landscape is the reflection of our society, and within this context, my aim is to question humanity\u2019s geological imprint in the present and the future of the planet, and to propose a visual representation of it.<\/p>\n
Today, the major forests that protect our planet from global warming and shelter countless animal and plant species are being destroyed to make way for ecocidal industries. More precisely, to sustain our modern Western way of life, we create spaces of non-life. Through drawing, I aim to make perceptible the impacts of humanity on its natural environment. The landscapes I have crossed are, by definition, destined to disappear. From this accumulation of visual data, I attempt to reconfigure a space\u2014our own\u2014the one we are losing.<\/p>\n
