Driven by both my photographic practice and my studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, I am interested in the use of visual arts as a research instrument. My interest in the Arab and Muslim Worlds, fueled by my studies in sociology and political science led me to join the Research Institute for Development in Tunisia (IRD) for which I produced a research film, currently in editing, and a sociological survey. In this context, since 2023, I have been commissioned by Médecins du Monde to carry out a photographic project on the theme of health in the migration of harragas. Since 2021, I have been developing a long-term photographic project "Ashes of the Arabian’s Pearl" which has been shortlisted for the Leica Oscar Barnack Award 2024, the Kolga Tbillisi Award 2024, the PhMuseum Award 2024, Art Photo Barcelona Award 2024 and Belfast Photo Festival 2024. In early 2024, I obtained funding to start a doctoral project in visual anthropology entitled "The Harkis and Algeria: links, experiences, and circulations" . For several years, I have been dividing my time between photographic commissions, long-term personal projects, and academic involvement in France, Algeria and Tunisia.
