The roads are the vascular system, and the transportation network of our technological and consuming society. Everything speeds up. Our relation to the environment is often constrained by a window size, the glass of our car, our TV or our computer screen. We experience nature through controlled situations. Secure and sterile commercialized landscapes are valorised. 

In the past months, I have developed a system of re-interpretation and appropriation of my surroundings; beginning from the private to the public. I started with my living space: my apartment. After that I investigated my parent’s campground a place of self-attachment and memories. My process is now opening up to collective spaces. I am exploring highway views and the common imagery related with displacement, transportation and movement. The corridor between Montreal, where I lived for the past 7 years, and Halifax, where I am studying presently, is my new space of intervention. By pausing and marking the territory, I hope to remember, and to locate my displaced self.

I am proposing a personal, sometimes contemplative, sometimes interactive, vision of constructed urban and rural spaces. It is an appreciation of the banal, a glorification of the insignificant. Windows on the world. The theme is pushed toward different directions. Books, games, animations, projections, paintings, digital prints serve it. I incorporate simple wood structures with digital prints altered and enhanced by hand drawing and painting. These tensions between time and materials are personal gestures pinpointing my presence, my experience of that trajectory. It is a work in progress. I deeply wish to pursue it, to keep travelling around in order to find my way back. It is a celebration of action and the inner beauty of alienated concepts. Let’s travel, look consciously, and appreciate.
