Based in the South of France, she collaborates regularly with cultural and academic institutions.
ARTISTIC APPROACH
Her practice moves between documentary and fiction, forming an archaeology of affects rooted in place. Through photography and film, she investigates how personal memory intersects with environmental and social transformations, particularly in the context of the Anthropocene. Working across images, moving image, and hybrid forms, she develops projects that combine storytelling, collaboration, and experimentation. Her work seeks to reveal invisible narratives and foster new ways of relating to territory, memory, and shared ecological futures.
