About this series

Atlantic Luminescence : This project explores the breathtaking beauty of the Basque coastal region near Bidart, France. For ten days, I used the dramatic landscape to play with color and light, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. This is where the red light spectrum, which defined the first phase of the project, meets the untamed power of the Atlantic. Creating a series of images that feel both familiar and foreign, they offer a fresh perspective on a landscape that inspires us to dream.
This work emphasizes the delicate balance between nature and human intervention. Untouched landscapes remind me how fragile these environments are, and how important it is to preserve them. Interplay between light and color highlights nature’s transformative power, as well as our impact on these ecosystems. The series serves as a quiet reflection on the need to preserve our planet’s natural wonders.
