SURROUNDED BY LOSS... AND SURRENDER

More than ten years after I created different series, I realized some of them are chapters of a one and only theme : loss.
We all go through tough times in life, and it does change our perception of the world. About one year after I left someone I loved, I lost a member of my family. It did have a great impact on my personal works, during at least three years. 
I never presented these works through this perspective, as it was far too personal. With time passing by, I guess I can present it as it is today.

I gathered here more than 50 photos in black and white that represent mourning through different ways : we mourn outside, we mourn inside. Through landscapes and the city, through objects and in flesh. Through books and words, and new encounters.

The series ends with words on a body : these are lyrics from a "one woman rock band" called Alone and me. The artist accepted to turn into a model for one day and let me play with her words on her own body. As we also mourn with music, not to say, more globally : we mourn with art.
