Reflets - Jour (2025)
With this work, I wanted to capture the luminous intensity of a summer day at Lac Fraser — that moment when light seems to liquefy the boundaries between reality and reflection. I was fascinated by the perfect symmetry where the tangible world doubles in the water, creating not a simple copy but a visual dialogue where the mountains appear to stretch toward a parallel dimension. What struck me was the sensation of suspended balance, as if time itself had stopped at the horizon line.
This project developed during a solo paddleboard outing on the lake. I felt the same quietude evoked by the haiku poet Issa in his 1792 poem: “stillness— / in the depths of the lake / billowing clouds.” The idea of movement within stillness lives deeply in me — how something can appear fixed while being in perpetual transformation. This paradoxical duality is at the heart of my current approach.

Reflets - Soir (2025)
“Reflets — Evening” captures a crucial instant at Lac Fraser: the moment when light declines and transforms the landscape. I wanted to capture not dusk itself, but the moment when our perception sharpens as luminosity decreases. I was fascinated by how our senses adapt in this nascent dimness — our gaze becomes more attentive, more sensitive to nuance.
This work was born from my recent move to Orford, where daily proximity to nature has fundamentally transformed my practice. The natural cycles of light I observe day after day recall Emily Dickinson’s verse: “The Day undressed—Herself—.” This poetry of transition, of unveiling through absence, is central to my approach.

Printing on Plexiglas perfectly embodies my artistic search for a “living visual field.” The transparency of the medium adds an essential interactive dimension — the work breathes and transforms according to your position and the surrounding light. The photographed reflections and the real reflections of the support superimpose to create a unique experience with every glance. This responsiveness to the environment materializes my quest for a work that never exists as static, but rather in constant relationship with its observer and its setting — exactly like nature itself, which inspires me daily since settling in Orford.
Because the works are currently in production, the images are not fully representative of the final piece. The detail image is based on a smaller‑format print proof and the installation image was AI‑generated to give a sense of what an urban exhibition could look like.
