This series of photographs investigates Mont Mouchet, a forested plateau in France’s Auvergne region that once served as a stronghold for young resistance fighters during the Second World War.
Rather than offering documentation, the images operate as quiet excavations—an attempt to sense how memory inhabits space. Here, history does not present itself through monuments or narrative, but through textures: the roughness of bark, the density of undergrowth, the weight of silence. The work invites reflection on how landscapes absorb human experience, how the past persists in the physical world, and whether the earth itself can carry the imprint of defiance, fear, and hope. In these images, the forest is not simply a backdrop—it is an archive of presence.
