This serie explores the thin line between different levels of consciousness that occurs when we are starved or thirsty during summer nights. Whether during an insomnia episode when the intense need to cool down is felt, blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion, or following a nocturnal waking when the need for a snack arises around midnight and the brain is still drowsy, or finally during a dream when surreal images impose themselves on consciousness...This minimalist and modern serie is also the result of personal research on setups with Canson sheets and stainless steel objects.

BIO: Growing up in the Food universe for many years, as an authentic "foodie" I'm exploring culinary art with an eye which search beauty, things that make sense, innovative renderings and tasty things.
Plus, I mainly used to photograph with a near-minimalist and modern approach through the fields of Food and Still Life and I also really love representing asymmetric forms like food's richness can produce.
In parallel way, I'm crazy about food macrophotography that represents a whole technical activity likely to create the most fascinating textures!
