Ice fishing
These photographs are taken near of St-Lawrence River in little town call Rimouski in winter 2017. At this place, a long tradition of fishing still exist. When winter is almost over and ice is present on the river, many people still practice this severe fishery when the wind is blowing and temperature are low.
The object of my photograph is to give a new meaning to the forms and inside his natural rhythm, break the spaces and time, and recombine them into each other in order or disorder. Create a new world from the old.
