During her life, the woman goes through different trials. Some are visible from the outside and others are invisible to others’ eyes. Either way, it can be difficult to feel good physically, mentally, and to love a body that seems foreign to you. This series evokes the search for a new sensuality and complete well-being. Colors and movements, getting out of the darkness, letting go of all frustrations. It is a "Nouveau Chapitre" ("New Chapter") where we learn to love and rediscover ourselves.

Born in New Caledonia in 1992, Marie Blampain discovered a growing interest in photography during her "Certificate of Design and Visual Arts" in Auckland, New Zealand, followed by a Bachelor's degree (major in photography) that she completed in November 2015. Photography became for her a real source of personal fulfillment. It is indeed during the realization of her creations that Marie feels most in tune with herself. Her practice combines an interest in portraiture and conceptualism constructing narrative scenarios and controlled compositions.
