JARDIN À LA FRANÇAISE 2024

This portrait series draws inspiration from classical representations of animals, particularly zoological documentation and historical portraiture. By evoking these aesthetic and historical traditions, the work explores how such portrayals shape our understanding of the natural world and contribute to both the literal and metaphorical objectification of non-human beings. For example, zoological illustrations often reduce animals to specimens, while historical portraiture positions them as symbols of wealth and conquest—both reinforcing human dominance. By reinterpreting these traditions, the series questions the power dynamics involved and challenges the boundaries between representation and objectification.
