The Orient and the Maghreb fascinate me. From Morocco to India, from Türkiye to Uzbekistan, via Syria, every landscape and every view shines with light.
It's a golden light that caresses the walls, an infinite sky where the scents of spices and jasmine dance. It's spirituality whispering in the wind, traditions handed down like secrets. But above all, it's the hospitality of the souls we meet, the warmth that, in an instant, transforms a stranger into a friend.
In the course of these encounters, I met people who offered me much more than a smile: a spark of humanity, a fragment of eternity. It's these moments, both simple and profound, that make a trip unforgettable.
Through these images, I hope to forge links between the West and the East, the cradle of humanity, where every stone and every face tells a story. These photos are an invitation to feel, to marvel, to remember. They are a tribute to these lands bathed in light and grace.
