My main passion lies in the field of trans-generational therapy and psychogenealogy. I have researched and studied these fields for more than 20 years. Furthermore I am interested in creative and imaginative approaches to therapy, through narration, myth, stories and how we understand each other, and ourselves, in order to be with one another, beyond ourselves.
I write mainly about my own process; I believe that by sharing my wounds, by sharing my family stories, my collage pieces can act as a point of departure (or arrival) for others to walk the path of healing with me at their own pace. Even if we have lived different lives, even if we live in different times and cultures, I deeply believe we share common Legends, Myths, Stories, Cracks and Monsters.
I often think about myself as some kind of “somatic archeologist”, really interested in a part of us called the Soul.
What I do here is that I explore the narrative potential of photography through constructed and deconstructed images, cuts, made of and with layers to arrive to different interpretations, reiterations, translations… Through dreamy alternative processes, the collages I create question time and memory, truth, reality and what lies beyond. I observe the invisible. Highlighting the features of oblivion, I use different processes to recreate patterns, memories and legends. I mainly work with my own family photos (but also photos found random on the net, sometimes not sourced).
I dream new forms of narrations and with them, breed new forms of forgiveness.
My art pieces appear often here to illustrate my writing but sometimes, they stand there alone, in the form of numbered dreams.
