"Des Hommes et Fleurs"

Series of vintage photos of theater actresses and burlesque dancers from the 30's intervened with my illustrations. These women were supposed to be the most liberated one at the time, still they had very little freedom and many were living horrible stories behind the stage.

As women we are used to keep silent and pretend to be happy. This series talks about those silences women have kept through history. Still today women around the world keep quiet and I hope one day we all can shout together and be free!

Prints of this series are available in my store. If you would like a different size for a specific space or frame send me a message.

"Submersible"

Series of photo intervention as a collaboration with Montreal Band PRINCE MYCHKINE's 2nd album with the same name. Each image illustrates each song of the album.

There is a story within this series, the story of someone who feels alone, he is looking for love in the wrong places as the story goes on. He makes mistakes and keeps on going, until one day he finds people who feel like him. The tears become rain and we grow tall as an old tree when we go back home and realize happiness is always inside us.
