Every Day, Eternity

(Started in 2025 – Work in progress)

I discovered the poetry of Arthur Rimbaud during my adolescence, and it accompanied me throughout my literature studies. I became interested in how our perception of time influences our relationship with the world. When I started practicing photography, these questions continued to unfold through the specific means of that medium. Rimbaud’s 1872 poem “Eternity” came to inform my thinking about the limits of our anthropocentric conception of time.

Begun in 2025, Every Day, Eternity challenges the fragile harmony between our human perception of time — reduced and fragmented — and the continual cycle of nature, destined to outlast us. Through its landscapes, vegetation, animals and minerals, nature leads us into a visual world dissected by reflections, distortions and shadows.

By questioning our relationship to time — and therefore to the brevity of our existence — we may engage in a more sensitive and more humble reflection on our presence in the world, as individuals and as a community.
