Palmier,

«In Palmier (2020), the back of a man’s head has been shaved into a tropical landscape. ‘This was my first attempt at more staged photography. It’s the ideas of embodying a concept within a picture... those hairstyles speak to urban culture and a search for identity, but also play upon certain stereotypes.
There are multiple layers of meaning in this picture that require a deeper reading.’»
