On February 1, 2024, Brussels (Belgium) witnessed a battle of a new kind. Over a thousand tractors flooded the streets, encircling European Institutions in an unprecedented agricultural protest. Despite sporadic tensions, I ventured forth to capture this historic moment, seeking raw truth amidst the chaos. My goal was to document a day where the unexpected became captivating. Through these images, I offer a visual exploration, a testament to a moment frozen in time, where reality surpassed imagination, leaving an indelible mark.

Passionate since my teens and having worked as a photojournalist, I have no preconceived approach to my work; everything is done intuitively with each scene that presents itself. I adopt the same technique for portrait photography, experimenting with extremes of light and natural contrasts, which is highlighted in the depth, richness, and presentation of the subject.
