“Ko-gô-seï signifies the ‘creation of light.’ In France, we translate it as ‘photosynthesis.’ Ko-gô-seï refers to the plant kingdom that I observe, this same word can translate the meaning of my work at each stage.”

​

“Each time it begins with a series of photographs. Here I sought to create shadows

over and away from the flower in order to provoke a symmetry between the living

and the immaterial.”
