It is Odile who comes to avenge Odette.
It is to survive.
Feminist reinterpretation of Swan Lake.
ILLUSTRATION
Development of a graphic aesthetic that is both naive and macabre, influenced by Tim Burton.

ENGRAVING
To work with black and white and suggest shadows, I began learning drypoint engraving on rhénalon plates.
I was then surprised to find myself more interested in the rhénalon plates I had just engraved and the ink residue than in the prints I had produced.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
To bring my Odiles and Odettes to life, I exchanged with the artificial intelligence Midjourney, infusing it with intentions:
A tribe of dancers thirsty for vengeance.
These are the Odiles
who return from the depths,
docile from their abysses,
they come to avenge the Odettes.
It is to survive.
MODELING
By exploring modeling with different materials such as clay, polymer clay, and ceramics, I discover the unique characteristics of each,
which leads me to experiment with different relationships of scale, texture, and durability.
3D MODELING
3D modeling gives me free rein to bring a narrative space to life.
I then consider the opportunity that the virtual world offers to create a project.
SOUND AND VIDEO
I work on the idea of a sound narrator by experimenting with sound, exploring various atmospheres and narrative moods.
I work with artificial intelligence and experiment with some video explorations.
ANIMATION
It is the sublimation of a pure frenzy, a frenzy that scares even ultra-violence itself.
It is the sublimation of suffering at its peak into pathological rage.
It is because existence has only one vocation left: to live up to the rage.
It is existence in catharsis.
