This is one picture from my photo series Titled "O'ndzia".
It's the story of a young person who during this clandestine travel from Africa to join Europe loose a beloved one. This picture depicts that moment of mourning and solitude and sadness for this survivor.
I choosed this subject cause every year thousand of migrant die by trying to join Europe by sea in some horrific condition. So I though that this subject needs to be highlighted with a photo series.
The picture is a conceptual reconstitution, the photo shoot took place in november 2018 at deauville France.

Biography
I'm a portrait photographer from Gabon, now based in Paris France since 2004. after a master's degree in computational linguistics at Paris Sorbonne IV, and a short career as a linguist, I accepted to have a mind more turned to artistic expression.
I decided to start as an independent photographer in 2016.
Reflecting on the experience and value of human condition is one of my biggest motivations. I also want to celebrate beauty in all its forms...I've been interested by art and wanted to be an artist since I was a child, and I think picture are more powerful than words in our days.
