Life is Bigger Than Borders

The photographs and creations are an invitation to explore new horizons, diverse cultures, faraway kingdoms, Polynesian breezes, and eternal symbols. They evoke tales of enchanted lands and taking you on a journey to exotic locales to experience the beauty, sensuality and exquisiteness of the world around us. I invite you to travel with me through my posts that are inspired by the joy and color of travel, a moment, a sensation or a mood : expansive, uplifting, creative and adventurous.

brings together some of the earliest photographs made in French Polynesia along with contemporary images of the same places, creating a dialogue between Tahiti as it was photographed more than 150 years ago and today.

Iโ€™m thrilled to have two of my photographs included in the exhibition.

If Paris is in your plans between now and the end of January, I hope youโ€™ll have a chance to see it - and perhaps discover a little more of Tahiti along the way.

In Ouakam, Senegal, life is closely tied to the sea. Fishing provides work, food, and continuity, while the Atlantic also carries uncertainty and loss.

The palm reflections change with every movement of the water.

In this one, the repeated lines and loops might remind me of fingerprints, while through them you can still see the coral beneath the surface.

What do you see?
