Surreal bedroom

The bedroom is a room dedicated to sleep. During our sleep, we dream. Dreams do not take into account consistency, common sense or a linear timeline because they have no concept of time. Through these self-portraits, I wish to raise the importance and the necessity of dreaming. The harsh reality of life and the standards imposed by our Society are among the driving factors. Dreaming is the only act that gives us access to the most intimate and the most hidden part of our being, and frees us from the constraints of Society. In seeking to give importance to our dreams, it's as if we allow ourselves to live and exist in another reality without social masks. In dreaming, we let our imagination run free. The imagination manifests as a psychic faculty whose function is to open ourselves to the surreal. With its true spiritual and dynamic force, the psychic benefit it gives us is invaluable. In helping us to look at the world in a state of wonder. It enables us to love it and believe in it. Dreams have no censorship, they are as vast as our imagination...
This year, I graduated from the Photography Institute, and continue to pursue my studies at the "Académie des Beaux Arts" of Arlon.
During my childhood and adolescence, I prepared for a career as a pianist. This certainly influenced the way I perceive the world and enabled me to fashion a particular concept of the universe, "my universe". For a multitude of reasons, I abandoned the idea of a career in music, a choice that left me deeply wounded. Now, I feel a deep need to find a balance within myself. I have found in photography and image manipulation an answer to this need.
