A shoulder offered, a hand placed in a fragile and intimate gesture: Regular symptoms VI reveals a back sculpted by time, between softness and strength, vulnerability and resilience.
As part of the Losing turquoise series, this photograph poetically embodies the central theme of the project: the ambivalence between science and belief, between materiality and symbolism.
Turquoise, a stone with a thousand-year history, becomes a metaphor here. An object of scientific research as much as a sacred talisman, it represents this contemporary tension between technological progress and a return to superstition, between rationality and the quest for meaning.
The body, once again, becomes the theater of this duality. It absorbs and expresses this invisible struggle, like an embodied memory of the forces that run through our time. A silent work, but of rare power.
