“My work is situated on the border between the real and the imaginary. It is directly connected to my vision of the world, and the way I interpret it. Using reality as a point of departure – a reality which affects me with the questions, fears and hopes that inspire my perception of what it is to be human, I propose, through dark poetry, a phantasmagorical trip to the depths of the human soul.
My medium is waste, the symbol of our hyper-consumerist society that questions its very foundations.
But beyond societal concerns, I seek to remould, reinvent and give shine to an object that has been rejected, echoing my own past, putting my sensitivity into action, along with my vision of a chaotic world and my utopian ideals.
I use all sorts of materials that are defective, broken, unusable, often non-recyclable and destined for the scrapheap. I create a paradox of closeness by reinterpreting familiar objects, yet also of remoteness by opening the gates of a surrealist realm.

I am a self-taught artist, and my participation in the DF Art Project has brought me a richness that is simultaneously personal and artistic, a true source of nourishment. This is where I discovered artists I share a common language with, where I fostered ties and appreciated the support they bought to my work and how they addressed my doubts. This is unquestionably a space that fosters connexions, surely a space for future collaborations and collective projects.”
