This series is called “Ex-pressions”. The idea came when I thought about what a creative process was. What does it mean to create something? How does it work, when a mental idea become a picture, and even a physical print? More generally, I thus wanted to work on “ex-pressions”, that is to say on the relationship between inner worlds and material worlds, when something invisible and mental become physical, through words or physical achievements.
This series is personal. I wanted to give my work a new direction, and I came to this idea that I wanted to develop in several shots. Each picture tells its own story, but they also work together as a whole.
I wanted to show how what is invisible becomes real, in order to express realities that reside in the human heart. Passions, feelings, thoughts thus become tangible through various symbols. The characters are tormented or soothed by this ex-pression, this kind of exit from oneself which transfers the inner reality to the outside world.
I explore the tension that exists between private mind and public reality.
