This project was born out of a series of encounters and a need to see ourselves differently. For six months, I spent time with women living in a social housing project in Paris: we talked about their stories, their dreams, and what helps them get by.
Rather than documenting, I wanted to offer a space where the imaginary could glide over reality. A sort of studio-mirror, where each woman could reinvent herself. This series of portraits grew out of dialogues, shared stories and stagings constructed together.
