graduated from la cambre’s photography master degree 

(2022) as well as the master’s degree in art practice-critical tools at erg (2024), my practice extends to the field of visual arts: photography, film, installation and, more recently, performance. i see my work as a longterm research, on the edge of reality and fiction, history and myth - i like stories that tell other stories, which repopulate our imaginations and question a reality that is often violently absurd.


motivated by a desire to reveal submerged histories, my work explores notions such as memory, mourning, necropolitics and haunting. it is grounded in a broader perspective of ecology that abolishes distinctions between the human and the non-human and reveals the social and environmental fields as complex and inextricable assemblages.


the sea – and more particularly the mediterranean sea which is dear to me – is a central and recurring element in my research. i explore this archive of liquid memory in a desire to weave links between the past, the present and possible futures.
