When the path fades, shadows and illusions emerge. This series is set on a magical land, a place where the elements make links between the terrestrial world and the celestial world. On the edge of the Iranian desert, this land gave birth to Zoroastrianism, one of the first monotheistic religions in history. This religion worships the elements, especially fire. The eternal flame, symbol of divine justice allows man to see beyond darkness. The story goes that at the time of the Arab conquest, only a sacred fire could be saved. The devotees then secretly kept this fire in a cave for seven centuries, before passing it on to the priests of a temple in Yazd where it still burns. Profane fire or sacred fire, fire of the body or the heart. This work is a mystical count, an underground quest, with his faith as a driving force and his flame as a guide. A tribute to the matter, the elements, their symbolism and the spiritual power to which they echo. A glow that springs from the depths of a cave, blesses a rock, radiates a city, lights up a cavern, illuminates beings and reveals the traces of a sensitive, vulnerable world. Sublime scene of a land steeped in its mysteries. The nature of the landscape is revealed in a dialectic of absence and appearance, attraction and abandonment.
