Having always considered my work as a vehicle to communicate my vision and interpretation of the world, this collection deals with a subject that has long fascinated me: Humans. Interested in his development as an individual or in society, I now question his desire to optimize his body to the extreme, making eternal youth an obsession. My goal is to highlight this human bias and the excesses of this contemporary practice, accelerated by medical technologies as well as the rapid advance of artificial intelligence. I wish to stimulate reflection on the place that this trend will take within our society in the coming years. I take the example of Biohacking, a set of practices consisting in modifying one’s biology in the hope of postponing death.
Inspired by the rituals, daily gestures and tools used today to maximize organisms, I redraw bodies constrained, modified, invaded by this quest for immortality. I divert materials such as the medical hose, symbols like the capsule or even accessories like the compression suit and rework them to make visible and valuable parts. They point to the social and human problems that this trend will generate, still reserved today for a wealthy elite.
My collection is not a simple criticism but an invitation to reflect on our place as a living being on earth, on this human nature constantly pushing the limits of the unknown.
