BEING BACK
EIGHT VIDEO OBSERVATIONS

For me Photography means a creative research.

It is a tool in the process of creating an image.

My recent body of work talks about my experience of existence: partnership, overcoming a sickness, fear of life, beauty of being a woman and the impossibility of being perfect.

when you really comprehend the meaning of the End you don't care about perfection anymore,

all you want is to swallow the air and catch the sun and the moon.

My definition of identity is that of a complex puzzle, composed of many pieces, which begins to develop in childhood within the family circle, later identity is shaped by personal experiences as an adult and by one's relationships with others. Identity also develops through personal abilities, interests, and the rejection or acceptance of traditions. Finally, I insist on the fact that a woman’s identity develops differently than a man’s. Attraction, control of thoughts, the disabilities of a woman, dealing with pain, developing mental and physical power, the ability to lead a relationship, the magic of smiling, and the meaning of attractiveness all exist in a unique and very different way, that I would name: "An exclusively feminine Lexicon" that is not similar to a man's.
