Forgotten vacation snapshots—once tucked away in a thrift store — are given new life through layers of paint and imagination. Each piece in this series begins as a relic of someone else’s journey, a fragment of anonymous memory captured on faded photographic paper. By painting over these found images, I invite viewers to consider the fluid nature of memory and the stories that linger in objects left behind.
This body of work explores the tension between erasure and preservation, between the personal and the universal. The original scenes become obscured, reinterpreted, and transformed. What remains is a visual palimpsest: traces of the past mingling with new narratives, inviting reflection on the ways we inherit, alter, and ultimately reclaim the memories of others.

“Vacances Retrouvées” is both an act of homage and reinvention—a meditation on the beauty of rediscovery, and the endless possibilities that arise when we look at the past with fresh eyes.
