This series is about "Gabriel", a character present in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament and the Koran. This archangel is represented here as majestic warrior, evolving in an apocalyptic world, symbol of his banishment from the Heaven. He keeps his magnificence through the attributes he’s wearing, which are sparkling with the light generated by the chiaroscuro of these images. The statue? appearance of the character reminds that his existence is imaginary: It’s a human mind creation and was created to bring light to a world in constant motion, and sometimes filled with darkness.

The story narrates here is the one of a well-known chimera, the mermaid. The images in this series, front and sleek? in their pictorial construction, are carrying the idea of a hybridization between a woman and a fish. A creature with a wide beauty, but also very dangerous. Indeed, in the legends, it was told that this creature charmed sailors, then drive them crazy and take them to the depth of the oceans. The strange appearance of these images brings the idea of dreams and phantasmagorical illusions related to this imaginary creature. The notion of forgetting is subtly shown by the choice of desaturated colours, and by the darkness tones present in some elements in the photographs.
