Dissection

This series "dissection" forms an aesthetic corpus between still life, portraiture and installation. I also uses hypnosis as a creative process, as a way to bypass the ego and parasitic thoughts in order to focus on my feelings and imagination. I questions here the representation of the finitude of the body and archaic initiation ceremonies by putting them in parallel with the big polluting industries such as plastics, armaments or textiles. I have been a model and a tattoo artist for years, and today my iam is to symbolizes the body as an ephemeral object and artistic medium, which despite modern devices remains deeply primitive. By breaking up my amateur models, sometimes encountered in the street, I wish to offer you the experience to bring back some buried emotions, like a rebirth in spite of the traumatic erosion. resilience This sacraments encourages to position oneself on the question of the relation between the body, the spirit and its environment.

Self-taught, the young artist leaves for Japan when she is 19 years old. She stayed there 6 years before having to go back following the earthquakes of 2011 (Fukushima).
This premature return to zero is a brutal turning point.
From this experience will flow a multidisciplinary work that explores the feeling of a universal existence beyond death and consciousness through erosion and static contemplation. A search for catharsis through the erasure of the present conventional existence. Sometimes just feelings, sometimes studies, the images open a window of observation on the human footprint that disappears with its environment.
Forgotten technologies, stacking materials, and the strange last dance between civilation and nature.
She chose an old Polaroid so she could really feel and catch more carefully the febrile moment rather than madly press a button to catch as much as possible as we all intend to do in our society now.
