DANCING WITH NATURE
I believe the way we connect with nature and other living beings speaks volumes about who we are as humans. This awareness—combined with a longstanding fascination for Africa inspired Dancing with Nature, a project I long dreamed of and finally realized in South Africa in 2024: to build a visual and ecological dialogue between humans and animals.
STOP RED POACHING
I drew inspiration from the plant and animal kingdoms, observing how many species respond to danger with survival strategies such as camouflage, metamorphosis, or the temporary color shift of a body part. On a more symbolic level, it’s as if nature, under pressure, triggers a warning signal—a red light flashing against the threat.
ELEPHANTS
Meeting these “gentle giants” was magical. Before planning the shoot, I asked Sean Hensman, the owner of the reserve, to tell me about the social dynamics within the herd of six elephants that live in his immense reserve. He told me in particular about the strong yet good-natured personality of Chova, the oldest male and leader of the herd.
