Several themes run through my work and connect my projects across time, tools, and places.
Origins
My background in geology and paleoanthropology taught me to look for traces, what remains, what erodes, and what lies beneath the surface. This sense of deep time is present in most of my images.
The body as memory
Whether I work with a model or alone in a landscape, the body carries gestures, tensions, and stories that appear without being named. The photograph becomes a way to let these memories surface.
Territory as experience
I don’t photograph places to describe them.
I photograph what happens to me when I spend time inside them, the shifts in attention, the way light changes, the silence, the fatigue.
Between documentary and fiction
Even when the image looks realistic, there is always a part of imagination.
And even in my hybrid or AI images, there is always something rooted in the real.
Materiality
Grain, blur, texture, softness, digital noise, these elements carry time.
They keep the image open, imperfect, alive.
Memory, trace, absence
A photograph is never only what it shows.
It’s the echo of a moment that has already moved elsewhere.
These lines are not theories I apply.
They are questions that return naturally each time I walk, photograph, or work with someone.
