"L'Ego Meurtri: Hommage à Gilbert Garcin" presents 66 images exploring human nature's complexities. Inspired by Garcin's work, I created photographic collages and montages using my own photographs. This work reflects life's light and dark aspects, rooted in personal emotions and perceptions. Each image aims to provoke thought, push visual storytelling boundaries, and invite viewers to question assumptions. Crafted with attention to detail, these pieces capture the tenderness and fragility of existence. The collection honors Garcin's legacy while offering my unique interpretation and vision.
