My artistic approach is a questioning of my relationship with time through the exploration of the materiality of photography and the close connection it maintains with it. Photography is indeed the perfect medium for this question, as time is inherently part of it, doubly so: the time encapsulated within its material, the time it takes for light to sensitize photo paper; and the time it seems to hold on a piece of paper, that of memory. Experimenting with photographic material allows me to move intimately within my inquiry.

​

As I leaf through the first pages of my family photo album, I have often tried to dive into these childhood memories. What form do they take in my memory? I do not remember the moments captured by these photographs. Yet, something remains with me. More like a texture, a shape, a color. These thousands of lived moments are fossilized beauties in small masses that I can almost touch, gently caress. For me, memory is an abstract object, small and precious, that I can hold in my hand.

​

I then wondered whether photography, at the core of its material, has the potential to be as faithful to what remains in my mind today as it can be to those images with the reality of the past.
