Tiny Planets

A Tiny Planet is a surreal concept that represents my experimental process pushing the medium towards new directions.
By revealing the hidden landmark of any landscape.
Something captivating, as when looked at it closely you will find that it is expressing a whole new Microverse.
A concept of a fragile planet, floating like a bubble in isolation to protect its valuable ecosystem.

En Corbeille
TITLE: En Corbeille DESCRIPTION: A tiny tribute to all those shopkeepers who formerly settled on the corbels of Pont Neuf trading their bric-a-brac, bringing part of that eternal essence to the city.

Red-Copper Bridge

The Secret of the eight Cattails

SpyCam
TITLE: SpyCam DESCRIPTION: At “Pont des Invalides” you can find a “SpyCam” which is hanging discreetly from a lamppost. I wonder what’s its purpose.
