Each picture is a story in itself. And when two pictures are brought together, do they form two separate stories — or the beginning of a new narrative? They open a door between two universes, a passage to a new form of affinity. Two pictures that become one image.

I Believe It’s a Door is a series of photo collages. An approach that opens onto a new space where the process holds more value than the product. This reflection on the image relates to the use of Instagram: what does this infinite profusion of daily pictures mean — for people, for artworks posted online, for images themselves?
Here the established rules for the project: select pictures and associate them in pairs, always in the same format — a square divided vertically into two equal parts. Simply place two pictures side by side to create a dialogue between them, so that together they form a new image. Like a photo-novel, they tell stories.

From Pictures to Images — Pictures have always been part of my life. From the illustrated tales on my bedside table to the fashion magazines I collected in my childhood bedroom, they were doors through which I escaped the isolation of the countryside where I lived. Each picture brought fragments of the outside world and fed my imagination. Later, throughout my studies and professional life, I researched and used images — each with a message to embody. From this compulsive visual consumption, I learned what moves and fascinates me. They helped me shape myself as an artist and trace my own path toward creating images.

I Can Fall in Love with a Picture — Pictures are powerful. They help shape our identities — both individual and collective. They unite a community, they accompany us throughout our lives, they are the material remains of an archaeological study. They can give form to a text, reveal an idea, decode a concept. They crystallize time. We can erase them, tear them, burn them — yet they remain imprinted on our memory. They constitute the collection of our inner museum.

Narcissus-Scrolling — Today, social media — Instagram in particular — has multiplied the number of pictures to infinity. By shuffling images, Instagram changes their role, erases their value and their hierarchy. Its algorithms mix, blend, and displace images from their own identities — all in an attempt to decipher ours. A show behind a one-way mirror. On my Instagram feed, Japanese food, artworks, enticing men, kittens, landscapes, sportswear, and family snapshots coexist, forming an abstract universe of which I am the sole subject. It is an intrusive mirror where reality reveals fantasy, and vice versa.
