Where do I fit in the city? is there patterns? Between figurative and obsessive patterns, my characters of urban myth are coming back. Knowing the neighbors or staying anonymous--these are two poles of human interactions in cities. In a style reminiscent of film noir, with a hint of voyeurism (and natural human curiosity), the shadows suggest both danger and exciting possibilities. My work explores the urban juxtaposition of countless human activities and a multiplicity of narratives. Turned inside out, buildings tell us stories about ourselves and each other.Whether the building is inhabited by people, skeletons or animals, the viewer is invited to move in.
