INTERTIDAL

​

This ongoing series explores the relationship between humanity and nature within the intertidal zone of Sillon Beach (St Malo). Tides, governed by the Moon and Sun's gravitational pull, create a cycle that shapes both landscape and human activity, defining our connection to place through physical and metaphysical dimensions.

​

The documentary photographs capture a daily choreography: as the sea retreats, the shoreline becomes an ephemeral realm where treasure hunters, tourists, and solitary individuals converge. This temporary space serves as both a sanctuary for contemplation and a playground for exploration.

​

Natural elements – sand, seaweed, rocks, seawater – become active collaborators through chemigrams and photograms, creating their own "self-portraits" on photosensitive surfaces. Moving between representation and abstraction, these images question not only our perception of nature but how nature itself transforms human experience, revealing a relationship where nature shifts from being observed to becoming an active participant in the creative process.
