Originally from Brittany, in France, I now live far from “home”… although that depends on what the word means to you. For more than ten years, my life has unfolded across different places, encounters and ways of inhabiting the world.

​

Working as a nurse in international solidarity since 2016, I have often been struck by the wounds caused by cultural erasure — the kind that cannot simply be covered with a bandage. Over time, I came to understand that care can take many forms, and that it often begins with listening: taking the time to understand and supporting spaces where everyone can feel seen, acknowledged and respected.

​

It was in this continuity that I turned to photography and writing in 2019. A few years later, documentary filmmaking entered my life through an invitation…

​

In 2023, after working for several years as a nurse alongside a community in northern Vanuatu, its members asked me to film their traditional Chiefs’ Day celebration. From the trust we had built together came Mota Lava, Nevenan Gen — my first film.

​

This experience opened up a new way of pursuing what had already shaped my journey: listening, staying, understanding what is being passed on, and finding ways to convey it with care and accuracy. Since then, I have trained and developed professionally as a documentary filmmaker.

​

Living in contexts deeply shaped by colonial history has led me to question assumptions I once believed to be neutral: ways of seeing, naming and telling stories that are rooted in certain patterns of thought. Today, I document the stories entrusted to me while continuing to question the position from which I tell them.

​

These stories are built over time and through many voices, together with those who choose to share them. My work is to find my place within these spaces with care, and to convey what unfolds there without seeking to define or translate everything. And more often than not, this means staying a little — a lot — longer than expected…

​

These encounters, and the stories that emerge from them, have transformed the way I see the world and continue to reshape it. Step by step, I am learning to unlearn and to see differently.

​

The world we share is not simple. It is shaped by strength, vulnerability, imbalance and contradiction. Neither perfect nor fixed: simply alive.
