About me

Belgian of Polish origin, I live in Brussels, a city of passages, whispers, and fissures. I was shaped by my Polish grandmothers, by their fragmented stories, their silences full of memory, and their dignified way of moving through life without complaint. From an early age, I learned to observe before speaking, to listen before writing. Words have accompanied me since childhood, imposing themselves with the softness of an evident truth.

I am a poet above all. Poetry has never been for me an exercise or an aesthetic refuge, but a way of inhabiting the world, of feeling its tensions and fragilities. My early poems remain hidden, like traces carefully kept, not to dwell in them, but to honor the path traveled. They tell the emergence of an attentive voice, already sensitive to silence. Poetry has taught me slowness, the weight of the precise word, and that silence can sometimes contain more than long speeches.

What I write often takes root in lived experience. Not to expose, but to reveal fractures, wounds, and the fragile beauty hidden at the heart of everyday life. Putting words to these moments is an attempt to contain, sometimes to soothe. Writing becomes an intimate act of resistance, a way to stand upright in the world, without noise or posturing.

I remain at a distance, a sensitive observer. I pay attention to details, subtle gestures, lives that cross without seeing each other. This attention flows into my photographic work. I photograph in black and white, drawn to purity and unvarnished truth. My images capture street life, fleeting moments, anonymous presences, gestures and glances often unnoticed. I try to catch what escapes the hurried gaze: the light on a wall, the fold of a coat, a silhouette disappearing around a corner. Each photograph is a suspended instant, a fragment of daily life where fragility and silent beauty emerge. Nothing is staged or fabricated: only matter, light, and life as it presents itself, raw and poetic at once.

My approach is inspired by Danuta Rago (1934-2000), Polish photographer, whose discreet and attentive view of everyday life has profoundly influenced me. Like her, I strive to make visible those simple yet profoundly human moments, where the ordinary becomes mysterious and poetic, where every shadow and light tells something words alone struggle to convey.

Between words and images, I build a bubble. A space of retreat, but also of lucidity. A place where sensitivity is not hidden, but embraced as a quiet strength. Here meet fragments of life, for those who know that silence speaks, and that beauty often slips in where it is least expected.
