Created in response to a prompt by Pauline Hiscbacq, which asked participants to explore the theme of passion through photography.

Passion is a series of self-portraits exploring the artist’s passions, obsessions, and spending habits. Clothing, tableware, and bed linen become witnesses to an intimate memory shaped by travel, emotions, and the different stages of his life. Some objects have accompanied him since adolescence, while others embody a specific memory, desire, or period of time. As this collection gradually expands, he begins to question his relationship with these possessions: do they coexist with him, or does he ultimately end up living alongside them?

Inspired by the visual language of flea markets and the accumulation of objects, the series presents fragmented compositions that reveal an intimate space beyond the frame. The crumpled bed sheets, present throughout the images, become a metaphor for the invisible experiences embedded within these objects. They evoke human, emotional, and personal traces that are never directly depicted.

His work also explores a more contradictory tension: the desire to free himself from a capitalist logic while continuing to build an emotional relationship with the world through purchasing, collecting, and accumulation. In this way, objects become emotional refuges, extensions of the self, and forms of escape from solitude.
