title
Memories of Home
Through the process of chemigrams, which only uses photo sensitive paper, light and chemicals, and not a single "image" other than the ones inside the mind, I create landscapes that combine memories I have of landscapes and urban scapes from my two home countries, France and Japan. The result is an imaginary landscape that stands between the two countries, between two different memories, that also plays with the relm of the imagination, as memories cannot be truthful to what it was, or what it is now. They are my own interpretation of home and of my own identity, a visual trace of my childhood fantasies.
2017.03 - ongoing project
After completing a master degree in Art Direction and Graphic Design and co-founding Studio3pieces, a creative studio mainly focused on branding and print, she took off to New York City to complete a one-year certificate program at ICP (International Center of Photography), from which she recently graduated in July 2017.
She now lives and works mainly in Paris.
