 Displaced... the fragmented souls, Introduction.

This work is a series of impressions, fleeting and sometimes oppressive… Displaced persons or migrants carry within them, whatever their age, a weight of memories, of losses and regrets, of hope too. There is the effort to keep alive where we come from as if to confirm who we are. There are the territories, these objects (the territories) become sacred with uncertain contours and which are the subject of a constant work of memory. Nothing picturesque, green and wet grass, dilapidated walls, a cluttered and sad beach, everyday life that only moves them, who are deprived of it. The displaced, generic actors in this work, cling to these memories as their reason for being, for forgetting is like disappearing. Then there are bodies whose suffering we know, fragmented as they are, as if trapped in a mistreated identity by a world they feel hostile and which only provides them with obscurity. Bodies that, like territories, must be constantly remembered. The displaced are in an intimate struggle so that nothing is erased.

This memory at work is the only subject of this series.
