About this artwork
Before Becoming explores that fragile moment when a form is about to appear without yet allowing itself to be defined. After pushing matter to the limits of recognizability, I deliberately return here to indeterminacy — but without erasing what has been discovered along the way.
Light passes through color, presences emerge, condense, then dissolve before becoming objects. Some forms echo previous works, creating a continuity between appearance… and disappearance.
What interests me is precisely this intermediate state: the moment when something already exists, almost possesses a materiality, but remains open. A space before definition, before identity — before becoming.

Through figures often isolated, immersed, or confronted by a boundary (water, glass, surface), her work explores the processes of individuation and integration of the Shadow, in the sense of Carl Gustav Jung. The body becomes the visible stage for psychic and perceptual tensions, revealing
Through figures often isolated, immersed, or confronted by a boundary (water, glass, surface), her work explores the processes of individuation, the integration of the Shadow, and the states of vulnerability linked to becoming oneself. Flesh becomes the visible terrain of an intimate passage, where psychic tensions, sensory perception, and presence crystallize in the pictorial matter.
