Born in Paris in 1998, I am an artist aged of 25 and living in Paris.
Since a very young age, the practice of painting, drawings, installations and even sculptures has been a whole journey of different experimentations and experiences for many years.
During my academic life, and especially during my Master of research of Plastic-Art and Contemporary creation at La Sorbonne University between 2019 and 2021, I have focused my research and practice about the threshold and its representation. This theoretical foundation prompted my exploration of various geopolitical conflicts, both historical and contemporary, utilizing diverse mediums including installations, photography, painting, and drawings. Commencing in 2018, this exploration has remained a continuous and integral focus of my work.
One of the most significant among my research subject was the exploration of the Israelo-Palestine conflict, which was launched by a personal experience. Throughout my academic journey, a substantial portion of my artistic practice and contemplation was devoted to seeking a representation and an understanding deeply rooted in my personal true-life. This pursuit continues, as I subsequently expanded my focus to encompass historical conflicts and more contemporary phenomena, including the construction of walls across various regions from the 20th century to the present (such as the walls between the United States and Mexico, Greece and Turkey, North Korea and South Korea, among others).
Having a historical perspective is not a foreign concept; rather, it's an integral aspect firmly embedded in my identity.
Engaging in this form of historical "inquiry" and its visual representation compels me to ponder how we can simultaneously portray and experience conflict, rooted in the concept of a threshold, through both physical and psychological dimensions.
Contemplating the threshold, revealing it, deepening its visibility, highlighting it - these are the different fields of exploration of the notion of "threshold". What triggered this questioning of the threshold, and how did it come about ? The threshold is inherently associated with the idea of transition, of crossing, but how do we communicate this hesitation, this challenge to venture beyond what seems insurmountable ? How do we depict this space that we don't physically touch, but which serves as a gateway to another world?
It is crucial to consider all my work as an exploration and reflection on various concepts such as territory, division, unclaimed areas, barriers, borders, demarcations, limits, thresholds and frontiers.
