ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This is one picture from my photo series Titled "O'ndzia".


It's the story of a young person who during this clandestine travel from Africa to join Europe loose a beloved one. This picture depicts that moment of mourning and solitude and sadness for this survivor.

I choosed this subject cause every year thousand of migrant die by trying to join Europe by sea in some horrific condition. So I though that this subject needs to be highlighted with a photo series.

The picture is a reconstitution, the photo shoot took place in november 2018 at deauville France.

AUTHOR
I'm a portrait photographer from Gabon and based in Paris France since 2004. Formerly a linguist, I obtained my master's degree in computational linguistics at Paris Sorbonne IV.
After a short period as a linguist, I accepted to have a mind more turned to artistic expression.
I decided to start photography: first as an assistant to a photographer friend.
Then I decided to start as an independent photographer in 2016.

Reflecting on the experience and value of human life is one of my biggest motivations. I also want to celebrate beauty in all its forms...I've been interested in art and wanted to be an artist since I was a child, I started photography cause I think that sometimes words are not enough to express a certain type of feeling. I think that a simple picture of a human being is much more powerful than words.
