Explorations

Diving

Uncovering inner worlds

Diving is a privilege. A privilege to get back to our nature, to explore a universe beyond day and night.

In cold waters, we rapidly reach darkness and can glide over lunar landscapes, fly into milky clouds, or unveil the bow of a wreck at the end of our beam.

In warm waters, we can explore the reliefs created by corals and anemones, and be delighted to encounter a disguised octopus, a glowing nudibranch or a smiling eel.

Scuba diving gives us time to explore; freediving opens us to unique bodily sensations and invites us to break free from mental tensions.

Today, I am preparing a research-creation project depicting the sensations felt while exploring groundwater. By creating a reflection between the flow of sensations under the skin and the flow of water under the earth, I want to raise awareness of the source of life.

I care about invisible dynamics, sound briefings, peaceful dives and constructive debriefings. I have made 275 dives, that is 225 hours underwater.
