Rewilding
This project explores communities that reject conventional systems, seeking new ways to live in balance with nature and each other. Through my lens, I document eco-villages and anarchist collectives around the world, places where people come together to build self-sustaining, intentional ways of life. They blend ancient communal knowledge with modern environmental practices, proving that alternative paths are not only possible but thriving.
Many artists and photographers have explored intentional communities, capturing their resilience, creativity, and deep connection to the land. Seeing these works reinforced my own desire to document these spaces, not as utopias but as living experiments—places where human connection, shared purpose, and sustainability take shape in real time.

I don’t have a lot to say, actually we don’t really say things, we express them!
It's poetry without words.
You know… I think we are not artists, we are lawmakers. We make traffic signs and put them in space, what does a traffic signs means? You don’t always understand it, you look at it and try to understand the symbols, they repeat themselves and then maybe you get a concept of what they mean.
We use the repeating symbols to create language, to create culture.
Art is part of evolution
Everything is pollution
