The "Corps à Corps" series is a photographic endeavor which offers a fragmented and
dynamic take on the female body. Indeed, this work hinges on the juxtaposition of body
fragments and darkness. These fragments, barely visible, make up the exposed side of this
particular geography while the rising darkness slowly turns into an absence of detail.
This dark part encourages us to reconsider the whole artwork as a new space where
imagination and emotion are at the very heart of female mystery.
