Don'T You Hear The Birds Cry

This series tells the story of fragility. The fragility that leads to disappearance. Disappearance through pain. The inaudible, invisible pain.

In 2020, following depression, photography allowed me to rebuild myself. A rebirth. The photo then becomes a means of expressing my pain, my sensitivity. I add words to it. Poetic sentences, like a counterpoint to the image. They are no longer landscapes, but visual and sensitive poetry. Revealers of my moods. The outlet for my buried suffering. A vision, a look, a very personal interpretation placed on a nature magnified to the height of what nature was able to bring me as a remedy for my ills. Words for evils.
