Sentimental Journey

My intention was to study these animals that called my attention and are so famously known for their grace and elegance. My goal was to portray an ordinary side of their existence in that daily environment, challenging the preconceptions and cliche around swans imagery, and approach them with some type of familiarity and intimacy I believe to have built with them over the years, living an urban life in a dreamy and romantic ideal. As my own relationship to my journey in Paris, which is also implicit in their existence, but also revealing their power to transcend beauty in space and time. The aesthetic I chose was mainly experimental blurred and out of focus as that’s how I felt most days during my journey and it combined to their expression of movement and flow on the water.
