Sessions


It wasn’t the desire to replicate a static image of a natural landscape that awakened my wish to delve into the visual arts; it was the desire to physically engage with the hidden and investigate the nature of reality itself.
To touch, trace, and manipulate abstraction and explore the multidimensional nature of creation.

Through breathing exercises, space activation, and the act of drawing, I aim to access a heightened state of perception. As a result, the act of drawing became ritualistic, and the lines traced on paper are visible traces of paths traveled in the vastness of the subtle universe. Each line carries within it the essence of an internal journey, transforming the paper into a map that densifies what once floated.




My artistic practice explores the fluidity of boundaries and transitional areas, where the same space can simultaneously be both front and back.
What fascinates me is how opposites coexist and intertwine within the same interval.

I draw, paint, and constantly work on both sides of the washi paper. Its malleable and translucent nature allows what’s on the other side to remain visible, creating a dynamic interplay of dualities.

This interplay completes the work, revealing its spatial complexity and transforming the drawing into a spatial object. These drawing-objects often unfold into installations.

Fluid shapes and shifting shadows have always unconsciously drawn my attention, leading me to experiment with them through printmaking techniques, exploring the boundaries between presence and absence.

An immersive environment took shape in my temporary studio in Les Lilas, where I worked for two months. I covered the entire space with emergency blankets, creating a reflective environment that amplified both light and perception. It was a space designed for creation and investigation, a setting where personal gestures were perceived in an expanded way.






The Meta Session unfolded as a synthesis of these intentions, creating an 
immersive environment where drawing, video, sound, and spatial perception 
converged. One of its aims was to connect different temporalities of the creative session, tracing how presence can unfold across dimensions. This environment became a way to investigate the sensitive architecture of a living metaverse, where gestures, images, and traces activate realities that coexist and evolve.

The video Light Waves was projected directly onto the drawings created during that moment. The soundscape incorporated breathwork recorded at the beginning of the session, anchoring the experience in a state of heightened awareness.This convergence of media gave rise to a perceptual ecosystem. The installation became a site where drawing unfolded across multiple scales and mediums — a quiet attempt to trace the choreography of a gesture in transformation, outlining the shifting contours of realities in motion.
