Chimères is a quest for the invisible and the absurd.
Through various techniques of transformation—play with light, reflection, framing, and erasure—the subject is displaced, altered, and rendered unstable. The aim is not to conceal it, but to make it waver.
The choice of black and white acts as a purification. Stripped of any chromatic distraction, the image focuses the gaze on forms, contrasts, and textures. Light sculpts, reveals, then engulfs. In this series, the absurd is neither spectacular nor narrative. Chimère offers a silent experience—an invitation to look beyond what is presented to the eye.
