Photographs
From the Alpes Maritimes, I’ve been out in nature since I was very young, whether in the mountains or at sea, and I’m particularly passionate about marine ecosystems, which I’ve been studying for the last 2 years at the University of Aix-Marseille in the “Licence Mer” program. At the same time, I work for the One Ocean Foundation as a researcher, and am a graduate of CAH 2B.
This summer, I was selected by Seine Grands Lacs for an artistic residency at the Champaubert church, enabling me to explore the lake and the region. During several apnea and scuba dives, I discovered the magic of this lake. Being 20 years old, I started photography two years ago with the aim of combining Art, Science and Exploration, and this residency allowed me to do it.
Exposition
The title of the exhibition came in mind on my first dive: “Green, the color of Life”. Unlike the sea, where everything is blue, here everything is green. Fascinated by this environment, I focused on an underwater vision of the Lake during my artistic residency. This region inspired me a great deal, and in particular reminLe titre de l’exposition m’ est venu à l esprit dès ma première plongée « Vert, couleur de la Vie ». En effet, contrairement en mer où tout est bleu, ici tout est vert. Passionnée par ce milieu, je me suis concentrée sur une vision subaquatique du Lac lors de ma résidence artistique. Cette région m’a beaucoup inspirée et notamment rappelée le mouvement des impressionnistes que j’ai essayé de représenter dans certaines images. Un photographe est un contemplateur, et pour moi, les plus belles peintures, sculptures, formes et couleurs sont dans la nature. Mon appareil photo m’a permis de capturer ces instants suspendus pour les partager. A travers cette exposition vous pourrez découvrir les différentes ambiances du Lac.
Merci à Seine Grands Lacs de m’avoir permis de réaliser ce beau projet.ded me of the Impressionist movement, which I tried to represent in certain images. A photographer is a contemplator, and for me, the most beautiful paintings, sculptures, shapes and colors are in the nature. My camera has enabled me to capture these suspended moments and share it. Through this exhibition, you can discover the different moods of the Lake.
Thank you to Seine Grands Lacs for allowing me to realize this beautiful project.
