Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only our own consciousness undoubtedly exists. The world and the others are fundamentally different and unreachable. With this series, I question the general mysterious relationship that a soul can have with something external. Are we condemned to a kind of egocentrism (individualism)? The bubbles in the series represent the barreer of our consciousness, which both separates and links a soul to the rest of the world. We experience and perceive everything through it, so much that all we can see may only be our own soul's reflections and projections.

Julie de Waroquier is a self-taught French photographer, also philosophy teacher, who started photography in 2008. Since 2010, she has distinguished herself by winning several national and international awards, including the International Emerging Artist Award. Her photographs are regularly exhibited, and were notably showcased at the Rencontres d’Arles.
