ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The photograph captures a massive, metallic, time-worn padlock. Through this photograph, the artist visually expresses the feeling of imprisonment, isolation and the struggle against abuse. The padlock becomes a powerful symbol of the abused person's situation. The composition plays with light and darkness to create an emotional atmosphere that invites the viewer to reflect on the complex reality of abuse and the need to break the chains of silence. This photograph is part of an ongoing project called "Prison Break". Pigment print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta paper (308 g/m², 100% cotton) without floating border.

Professional photographer, I am based on the magnificent Reunion Island. There they say, where God rests in winter! My purpose here is not so much to tell you about my background or what I have achieved in my life as a photographer and creative director, but rather to reveal to you how the image imposes itself on me and more particularly photography. Photography is one of the most authentic means of communication in our modern era. Of course, it is very easy to falsify or take an image out of context, this is not how I see my job as a photographer! In my view, a still image must, in an instant with what it carries within it, provide a sensation, an emotion, represent the reality of a situation or express the evidence of a moment of life, the truth! Regardless of the subject photographed, a portrait, a landscape or even a life scene, I always make sure that my shutter lets the light in. This light thanks to which a scene is possible, but above all authentic. Most photographers will tell you that light is the basis of photography and it is true, but I want to go further and believe that "the art of photography" is that of writing light when the moment you can capture a moment, a situation, a fixed movement or an entire story in a fraction of a second. What would existence be without this light which pushes us to dream, which gives hope, which, if we look with the eyes of the heart, reveals something else sometimes so subtly hidden, how to survive without this light which is and which gives life.
