The ecological transition, and the relationship between humans and nature, are among the subjects that touch me the most.  In this photography project that I entitled "2021: Un crépuscule", I chose to approach this subject in a rather introspective manner - speaking not only of our material relationship with nature, but also of an inner destruction that is gradually occurring in each of us: the threats which weigh today on our planet - an environmental crisis unprecedented in human history, the alarming loss of biodiversity and the climate change, our economic model and our lifestyle focused on capitalism and overconsumption…  This nature, so often dominated and oppressed, today rebels, and shows us the limits of all the changes that we imposed on her.  Confronted with a monster they have created and can no longer control, modern humans continue to refuse the evidence and to evade the irreversible.  They wander in search of solutions, pushing aside all promises.  Mother Nature, so silent for so long, gradually regains her rights, leaving mankind destitute of resources; and it is with elegance and certain casualness that she plays with all the traps that have been set for her.  Humans now move forward without landmarks, frozen in their habits, in search of this lost contact that will allow them to reconnect with their original world.  In this series, they are only witnesses, objects of an environment that nature draws.  It is she who now decides and imposes, yet she does not completely expel from her territory these strange creatures who have done her so much harm.  Perhaps, she even gives them one last chance and, failing to be reborn, the hope of reinventing themselves.

CHAPTER IV
THE PILGRIM IS BRIDLED AND BESPECTACLED

Just then Delusion on the other side remarked: “For my part, I present you with these glasses through which you must examine the world.” After he fixed the glasses on my nose, everything immediately assumed a changed aspect. For they had the power (as I have tested many times afterwards) of making distant object appear near and the near distant, of the small large and the large small, of the ugly things beautiful and the beautiful ugly, of the black white and the white black, and so on. Hence, I realised that it was not without good reason that he was called Delusion, since he could not make and impose such glasses upon mankind.

" As I learned later, the lenses were ground from the glass of Assumption, and were set in horn-rims called Habit "

i used mirror as a object that reflecting the world. its difficult to remove our habit, and assumption, i think Maybe there is no good or bad in the essential world. Some people find paradise in despair, and some find despair in paradise.

And about shape of glasses, this is an optical illusion called The Ebbinghaus illusion of relative size perception. same size circle looks different defend on surrounding circles. Making of the small large and the large small. It’s same but we can not aware. I think it is similar to the way we look at the world. Even if we look at the same thing, we perceive it differently, Although the essence of the world is the same, the world is divided into despair and paradise by my point of view. 

THE LABYRINTH OF THE WORLD  AND THE PARADISE OF THE HEART

Sometimes I forget that life only lasts an instant.

“That which oppresses me, is it my soul trying to come out in the open, or the soul of the world knocking at my heart for its entrance?"
