“Under a Shared Sky”
(Ongoing project ; Initiated in 2021)
These images are about presence. It’s about the quiet weight of a moment, the connection between people and the spaces they inhabit.
In Reunion Island, I sought to depict a sense of rootedness—individuals framed by their relationships to land, home, and each other. Each photograph is a pause, a moment where time folds in on itself. A man holding a rooster, his grip steady yet gentle. A couple, close but unguarded, caught in a shared silence. A figure framed by foliage, both obscured and revealed. These are not staged narratives; they are fragments of lives as they are lived.
The island itself is a silent collaborator. Its textures, its light, its contrasts—lush and stark, intimate and expansive—create the context for these images. The subjects exist not apart from this backdrop but as part of it, their stories inseparable from the space around them.
These photographs are not answers; they are questions. What does it mean to belong to a place, to another person, or even to oneself? How do we hold onto the fleeting moments that shape us? My work does not seek resolution but invites contemplation.
This project is an act of observation. Of slowing down. Of seeing what is already there as we live under a shared sky.
