His installations engage viewers in immersive experiences that rethink our perception of space and time. His work aims to trigger exchanges and generate new collective narratives.

Poses is at the heart of the Seine-Eure region, which for centuries has been a land of exceptional craftsmanship. Today, hundreds of leather workers live and work here, working for some of the world’s leading luxury brands, exporting all over the world and making our country famous. The desire to continue and revitalize this beautiful history was great. That’s why, in this fertile land of Normandy, between Paris and Deauville, the Seine-Eure Agglo is developing a powerful synergy between arts and crafts and luxury goods with the creation of the « La Fabrique des Métiers d’Art » brand.
