«Beyond the diversity of shapes, colors or textures, these towels tell their own story. They are the imprints of unclad and unrestrained bodies. Heavy, light, lively or busy, these bodies rise, move away and leave their imprints. In their grooves and furrows, the curbs of their folds memorize a posture, feelings, emotions, between presence and absence; just the time to bathe.
My pictures escort the story of my life, my feelings, oppositions and contestings. They are the reflection of my life experience, open to the world. My pictures express what words fail to. My pictures are the fruit of a nostalgia ever marked with hope. Framing, colours and light are my tools to serve aestheticism. My dual culture imposes upon me a duality in all themes of research. The duality of my origin turns here into a double duality.So deeply embedded that at times I had to suspend a part of it. My pictures are criss-crossed by the marks of a witness.»
