« In january 2018, I'm walking around this bazaar in Mumbai where the smell of spices and incens is blending with the deep black eyes of the men.
Suddenly I come across this vendor of souvenirs of all kind. Mixed in an old card boxe just wanted to jump out from the past, they are all here! My Flower Boys. My eye is catching these identity prints and my hand does the rest. Their sepia presence touches my heart, they are alive in my hand. I would like to resuscitate them.
In this quest to revive their memory, I'm going ahead with my analysis on the relashionship to the meaning I would like to give them. This time my work is to be able to use these orphans portraits which are offered to me, to recycle them, recompose, embellish and restore them and to give them a second life like a well planned karma.
By appropriating these silver prints to me, I'm questioning myself about this identity quest, about the fact of mouning about the resilience of a past that soothes while going forward with my photographic work on the path of awarness ».
