Formaldehyde is a pause in time, a frozen breath where matter retains its own memory.
In this suspended form, something persists — an ancient gleam, a trace that refuses to disappear.
The volumes brush against each other, hesitate, fold back, as if memory were seeking refuge.
It is a fragile presence, preserved in a dense silence, a fragment of existence maintained between two worlds.
The work becomes a space of inner conservation, a place where… disappearance is delayed, where fragility becomes monument.
Formaldehyde does not just show a form: it retains a breath, a survival, a light that continues to breathe.

As a multidisciplinary artist from the province of Quebec, I develop a practice where matter becomes memory, breath and light.
Through photography, drawing, collage, painting, relief paintings and sculpture, I explore reality in its smallest dimensions as well as in its largest deployments.
I explore matter as a sensitive territory where silence, verticality, and organic traces meet. Each work is born from an inner movement, an impulse, or a vibration that I seek to make visible through layering, assembly, cutting, light, or depth.
At a distance, the work comes together; in proximity, it unfolds.
My work is part of an ongoing exploration of presence, fragility, memory, and space. Each piece invites attention to silence, slowness, and what remains beneath the surface of appearances.
