Summer is ending, another season, my own feelings, and the nature around me collide and get tangled. The leaves are turning yellow, a translation, a movement is already underway.
It’s hot, an intense and humid, unusual heat, which weighs down our bodies and our souls.
A form of numbness took hold of my being. I think of this change, which is taking place slowly, inevitably. I look at the youth around. I feel like I’m getting old.
I suddenly wish, like a firm and definitive freeze frame, that nothing and no one would change.
I photograph, I try to freeze this moment of life. Finally, everything seems doomed to fade away.

 Caroline is a French artist originally from Paris, France, and currently based in Saint-Malo, Brittany.

She works both with digital and analog photography. Her work is focused on the intimate territory, occurrences of life, and connection between beings, nature, and sea.

These series have been realized between 2020 and 2023. All pictures are analogs.
