The photograph reveals a suspended moment, like a breath held before the inevitable fall. The glacier, immense and wounded, shows off its open wounds, its deep crevasses, where shadow coils like a sleeping snake. The wall glistens in the cold light, while the cracks, like veins of crystal, trace their path towards an imminent tear. Here, all is grandeur and menace, a realm of ice ready to topple into the abyss.

This frozen mountain only delays its destiny. Soon, it will come crashing down, plunging into the dark waters of the Arctic. This will be its rebirth, its last breath before becoming an iceberg, a nomad of the seas. Tossed by the waves, sculpted by the winds, it begins a slow drift, allowing itself to be caressed and devoured by the invisible forces of time.

Then, in a silent, melancholy dance, it will disappear, fragment by fragment, dissolving into the infinite ocean. The glacier, that ancient titan, will melt into the currents, leaving behind only the ephemeral trace of a beauty that was only fleeting, but eternal in its memory.

In my photographic work I constantly seek out the raw, timeless beauty of nature by creating pared-down compositions through natural materials that I track down in wild, vast and intriguing environments. 

I strive to compose landscape images that eliminate visual distractions to emphasize the subtle details of natural textures and patterns. 

By using massive, primitive elements such as rocks, icebergs, glaciers and dunes, I create a visual tension that invites reflection on our place in the natural environment. 

I'm aware that this beauty is ephemeral and disappearing before our very eyes. It is with a sense of melancholy that I contemplate these wild and unique landscapes, conscious of their fragility in the face of the anthropic threats that weigh upon them.

It is for this reason that my photographic work explores and transcribes an ethereal, intriguing, obscure and enigmatic aesthetic that encourages contemplation and reflection on our relationship with nature. 

It's also a personal attempt to capture beauty through uncluttered compositions of imposing elements. 

I try to express a certain anagogy of landscape that imbues my images with a minimalist aesthetic. 

I am constantly inspired by the primitive, raw and minimalist simplicity of natural materials and elements.

I try to trigger an emotion in the viewer, whatever its , as long as it triggers a reflection on our responsibility and duty towards our planet. 

My aim is to encourage an ever-renewed understanding of our relationship with nature, before it's too late.
