The purpose of my work is to analyze the process of remembering.
By and large, I attempt to transfigure the abstract theme of memory through, Videos, photographs and physical installations. The memory is never entirely lost and family snapshots are a means of recalling buried past traces. The process of Deconstruction-Reconstruction reflects a period of psychological adjustment and reassessment towards recognition of the past.
“A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession”. Albert Camus
The past is gone
It won’t occur again
Time is passing
The Image is fading
Voices, smells, colours, bodies, faces disappear
Memory is subjected to error, distortions and oblivion, which are balanced by the imagination, shifting our history into fiction and myths.

I finally had some time to sit down and read through much of your blog here today. Your work is so fascinating. I had been thinking a lot about art therapy lately, specifically as to how creating art helps us to see differently while taking a deeper look inside ourselves (does that make sense? I’m obviously not a writer!). And now, after exploring your work, I have so much more to think about!
Thanks a lot
It is true that working on memory is fascinating probably because the process of remembering is a mystery. There are so many questions without answer.
Regarding the art therapy, I totally agree with you and I perfectly understand what you mean. Art can be a way to get closer to the true self.
Art (whatever the media, photography, painting, writing ….) is able to develop further our potential and our ability to understand the world.
If I am right you are a photographer. So this media might probably help you to explore your inner self, somehow. In addition, you share your photographs with others your own perception of the world through the lens (by the way I really love them your photographs because they are not silence they tell stories
) .
By extension, photographs are somehow mental representations; Photographs are illusions of the real, due to the fact that they reveal only the photographer’s perception. Somehow, photographs might reveal fragmented part of our inner self.
By the Way, I think that the quotation below is related to our discussion about perception and can give us food for thought.
” For my part, when I enter most intimately into what I call myself. I always stumble on some particular perception or other, of heat or cold, light or shade, love or hatred, pain or pleasure, color or sound, etc. I never catch myself, distinct from some such of perception”.
David Hume, Treatise of Human Nature, book 1, Part 4, section 6.
