Parallel Forests explores the invisible echoes between distant territories.
The forests of Québec and Réunion Island gradually coexist until they no longer exist as opposites.
Through mist, foliage, and shifting variations of light, invisible correspondences begin to emerge.
Certain forms repeat themselves. Certain atmospheres seem to answer one another despite the distance.
The boundaries become less defined. The landscape ceases to exist solely as a place and becomes a sensation instead.
Each photograph is created through a slow and contemplative approach, attentive to those moments when the environment seems to suspend its rhythm.
Light moves softly through the trees.
Depth dissolves into the fog.
And silence gradually comes to occupy the entire space.
The series brings together several quiet tensions.
The density of tropical forests responds to the more open landscapes of the North.
The warmth of certain lights moves through the coldness of forest mist.
And landscapes separated by thousands of miles sometimes appear inhabited by the same silent presence.
These images do not seek to document places.
They explore instead an inner perception of territory, shaped by memory, atmosphere, and contemplation.
The artworks are printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Ultra Smooth 305 g/m², a museum-grade paper renowned for its ability to reproduce subtle nuances, textures, and delicate transitions of light with exceptional precision. Its perfectly smooth surface enhances the softness of the scenes while preserving their depth.
Some forests are not meant to be crossed.
They slowly move through us in return.
