A bridge-woman in a world of specialists

I don't fit into a box. I am a multifaceted woman in a world that wants to reduce us to a single expertise.

Pilgrim, photographer, writer, director, initiator of the Via Magdalena, explorer of the human soul… I walk the line between art and commitment, between the intimate and the universal. My perspective is that of a storyteller, a bridge-woman between worlds and memories.

Today, I continue this adventure in other forms: by initiating long-distance walks, by developing the podcast L'Odyssée de l'Être (The Odyssey of Being), by seeking new ways to tell the essential.

On nous apprend à soustraire, à réduire, à diviser. Pourtant, c’est en additionnant que l’on grandit. Les rencontres, les regards, les idées, les pas partagés… Ensemble, nous pouvons changer le monde en commençant par nous changer nous-mêmes.

If these words resonate with you, then let's talk.

Telling stories differently: from book to screen

Je suis aussi autrice. Parce que certains récits demandent d’être écrits, couchés sur le papier pour exister pleinement.

Aujourd’hui, une nouvelle page s’écrit sous une autre forme : un film documentaire. Le souffle des fissures : De la douleur à la lumière, la renaissance est en gestation. Un projet qui explore la reconstruction des femmes brisées, en écho à l’art du Kintsugi et aux étapes de l’alchimie intérieure. Un voyage entre Paris et Dakar, où se croisent des destins, des résiliences, des transmissions.

Je suis née un Jeudi à midi…

One day, I walked. One step, then another. And without knowing it, I entered a story that would take me far beyond the marked paths.

In 2023, on April 9th, I left to walk for 16 months, I followed an uncertain route, from Meudon to Jerusalem in the footsteps of Mary Magdalene and the feminine. An initiatory walk to encounter the sacred, the feminine, and my own roots. Then on October 7, 2024, I arrived in Port Said, 200 kilometers from Gaza, so the war stopped me. Where History froze, I had to reinvent my path. So, I took another direction: that of origins, in search of the first beliefs, from Egypt to the Andes, where the seed-keeping peoples transmitted their millennial wisdom to me.

But walking is not always enough. We must also open paths. So, I initiated the Via Magdalena, an original route, a pilgrimage of the 21st century. A path that is not only walked, but that pushes us to question our beliefs, to investigate the place of the feminine and the sacred in our deeply patriarchal Western societies. Because understanding where our myths, rites, and cultural heritages come from means taking back control of our own history.

Committed photographer, storyteller of reality

I am an immersion photographer.

I don't work on people, but with them. Each subject I approach is a total immersion, a deep commitment over several years, often three to five years. It's not about capturing a moment, but about listening, observing, understanding before even pressing the shutter.

I capture light to reveal the invisible. Photography is not a simple look; it is a quest, a way of traversing the world by giving it meaning. I have focused my lens on those who are forgotten, on silences and scars, on rebirths and bursts of life.

My work has been rewarded with several prestigious awards and exhibited around the world. But beyond the distinctions, what matters to me is the silent dialogue between an image and the one who looks at it. A photo is not a simple imprint of reality; it is a mirror held up to the soul.
