"Substrates"

"In this series, I aim to explore the complex beauty and delicacy of nature, and seek to understand the notion of substrates – the surface, in which an organism lives, grows.
We all grow from substrate like plants and trees do. Here, I went in search of theseinterconnections between the natural world and myself, focusing on the elements that serve as substrates for our existences. Over the course of several years, and even still today, I have been exploring the elements from which I have grown, trying to understand my foundation in order to reconnect with the person I have become.
Part of the result is here: a very personal, yet discreet, journey in the comforting darkness of an underwood, far from the chaos and noise of an ultra-saturated world. I hope this journeycould also be seen as a timeless and universal odyssey of self-discovery, going way beyondthe individual narrative. It is an invitation to think about our own roots and the substratesupon which we stand, upon which we have grown and continue to grow every day, no matterour origins, personal history, trauma, joy or everything in between.
May this series serve as a catalyst for introspection, a boost to explore the fundamentalaspects of our lives: the substrates of our existences, the substrates of our shared existence."
