Overview

Concrete corners meet a halo of light.

Set in Paris’s industrial pockets after dark, this long-exposure series lets the city’s hard edges pause under a quiet, luminous spell.

Each ring of light acts like a small portal, showing how even raw concrete can feel welcoming when it catches the right glow. Éloge de la stabilité translates to “In Praise of Stability”, that that sums it up neatly. It's heavy, unmoving concrete and perfect halos of light, two very different elements, both holding their shape with calm resolve.
