"SILENT/DREAMSCAPES"

My photographic practice is a contemplative exploration of dreamscapes devoid of human presence. By removing the figure, I seek to translate the subtle and mystical dialogue between architecture and the land — between man-made structures and the natural environment. In this absence, light and shadow emerge as the main protagonists, revealing geometric forms and unexpected volumes that shape the emotional atmosphere of each scene. Each photograph represents a pursuit of stillness and abstraction, captured with a Canon 5D Mark III or Canon G1X. My intention is not to document a location, but to transform it into a refined and graphic composition that invite viewers to experience the quiet strength and unspoken poetry that exist between structure and emptiness.Through this exploration, I aim to give form to silence — to evoke spaces where architecture holds memory, and light becomes emotion. Influenced by the Bauhaus movement, the photographic investigations of Éric Tabuchi and Nelly Monnier, and the cinematic sensibility of Walt Disney’s art director Ken Anderson, my practice is grounded in a cross-cultural dialogue. I travel extensively through France and Europe, guided by a fascination with Morocco’s luminous landscapes, as well as the monumental austerity of Soviet Brutalism.
