Above my bed hangs the very first print of this piece, photographed by Adam in my room.
The following images reveal the artwork in its final framed edition.

Created on expired film with my old Pentax 35mm, the first camera I ever owned as a child, this photograph is the result of a double exposure. First, a palm tree. Then, on the same frame, the horizon: sky, sea, and the line that separates them.

Two moments layered into one memory.
What emerged was not a landscape, but a feeling, a palm suspended between sea and sky, between presence and recollection.

The piece is titled SOLO.

Throughout the years, while photographing remote islands and hidden corners of different archipelagos, I often found myself drawn to solitary palm trees facing the sea.
Standing alone against the horizon, quietly observing the world as it unfolds before them.

In many ways, I saw myself in them.

SOLO is not about loneliness.
It is about wholeness.

About finding beauty in your own company.
About being complete, at peace, and fully present while watching life pass before your eyes.

Observing its rhythm, its movement, its fleeting moments, and recognizing the privilege of simply being there to witness them.

Perhaps that’s why I kept the first print for myself.

Some photographs leave the studio.
Others quietly become part of your life.

Limited Edition.

“Le Réveil à Monaco.

The champagne has lost its sparkle.
The music has long faded into silence.

Only the sea remains.

Standing before the first light of the Côte d’Azur, she revisits fragments of a night already becoming memory, a strip of film held against the horizon, searching for moments that cannot be lived twice.

Between the evidence of celebration and the calm of the Mediterranean, there is always this brief and beautiful space:
when yesterday still lingers, and tomorrow has not yet arrived.

Monte Carlo, Monaco.

I WAS CREATED TO CREATE.

For the past months, this project has completely taken over my life.

My energy.
My thoughts.
My time.
My creativity.

Something inside me was asking for more.

As a fine art photographer, creative director and creator of experiences, atmospheres and concepts.
I always found beauty in building worlds around emotion and aesthetics.

Through photography.
Through events.
Through spaces.
Through visual storytelling.

But at some point, it stopped being enough.
I felt the need to physically create with my hands.

To touch materials.
To cut fabrics.
To shape forms.
To obsess over textures, silhouettes and details.
To transform vision into something tangible.

That instinct slowly became this new chapter.

I officially took the role of Creative Director and Designer of Kenny Parker, and together with Trent Hogan, whose mentality of building comes from years of construction, structure and craftsmanship, we found a creative chemistry completely aligned through passion, obsession and love for design.

For months we’ve been quietly building a new vision together.

New Kenny Parker pieces.
New materials.
New silhouettes.
New energy.

At the same time, I’ve been developing the first CHATEAU MUSE capsule collection:
limited wearable art pieces,
Italian leather bags handcrafted with intention,
and a perfume I originally created more than 10 years ago in Paris, a scent I kept privately evolving over the years through subtle variations until it finally became exactly what it was meant to be.

The art wearable tees will include some of my fine art photographs printed in very limited editions, each one accompanied by a physical fine art print and certificate, because I never wanted these pieces to feel like simple garments.

I wanted them to feel collectible.
Personal.
Alive.

Built between art and fabric.

This is not just fashion for me.

It’s years of vision finally becoming something real.

And this is only the beginning.

The Ocean Whisperer

Last dance in Lanka.
Engine cut. Silence hit. The wave spoke first.

Board balanced overhead, cutting a clean line through palm shadows.
Feet on warm asphalt, eyes fixed on the horizon.

No crowd, no noise, just black coffee on the tongue and salt in the air.
Walk in. Paddle out.

Let it take you.

More from “Wheels & Waves”
a few steps down, into the hush of the archive.

Negatives breathing dust,
salt and motion flickering back to life.

Between them
summer girls, lost in pages,
fingers combing light through their hair.

The past drifts, softly.
