End of the road
In this series set in the American West, I became interested in the gap between the landscape itself and the image that has been built around it through cinema, photography and collective memory. The desert is a territory already charged with stories, symbols and expectations. Through landscapes and fragments of life, I sought to understand what takes place between the image we carry of a territory and the reality we discover when we encounter it. What happens when the territory we imagined meets the one we discover? By using muted colours, quiet compositions and suspended moments, I sought to translate this tension between the landscape we encounter and the one we carry within us. End of the Road thus explores the way a territory becomes part of our collective imagination, and how our encounter with it can, in turn, transform the way we see.
