The series "VANITAS“ uses eroticism as a symbolic lever allowing free rein to all mental projections. Stimulating suggestion, mixing desire and imagination, provoking the mind, affecting senses, questioning the essence of fantasy through sacred sexuality. Confronting the individual to a creative power that goes beyond his immediate understanding. In the manner of a riddle or a puzzle, like a game of consequences, these photographies paint a portrait in which the focus is not necessarily one that the eye perceives spontaneously. The intimate configuration of the portraits combined with broad framed scenes helps to dilute the subject in an apparent distance. The work puts us, through its theatricality, in a real position of spectator. Spectator of the scene, the spectator of our own projections, spectator of ourselves. The work ultimately reflects the only disguised portrait of our most shameful impulses - those of life, death, outrageoussensual pleasures, of triviaand pristine beauty.
