/æfɹəˈdaɪti/ is the result of two and a half years of photographic experimentation on my body, my sexuality and more particularly my place as a woman in society.

Through my fascination and studies of Greek mythology, I found a certain duality in the story of Aphrodite.

I see in the story of Aphrodite all the discrepancies that women face regarding their bodies and sexuality in modern society. Female sexual freedom being a source of pejorative judgements.
All these contradictions and injunctions form my central study and I apply them to my own self-portraits.

I identified with the goddess and her manifestations : her closeness to nature, her duality, her sexual freedom and her body. As well as her cursed loves and deceptions that motivate some of her actions.
I face the comments that my photographs generate and interrogate my sexual and intimate behaviors with men and question my relationships. Through introspection, I seek to confront my shortcomings and identify my emotional flaws. Using Aphrodite helps me to understand the world around me, to tame my hyper-sensitivity and obsessions and to learn to heal from my disappointments.

I construct my journal as an artist learning who she is, and what it means to be a woman.
