The Sainte-Victoire mountain, near Aix-en-Provence, is the subject of nearly 80 works of art by the French painter Paul Cézanne. A true obsession for the artist, he devoted a big part of his life to this mountain, his mountain. But what remains of Paul Cézanne's Sainte-Victoire? The real frontier between the natural environment and the urban area, which remains frozen in space, motionless, yet so alive. It is a real eminence that dominates a city and a landscape but whose summit seems so distant. Unveiling itself while remaining inaccessible. Gazing towards the west relentlessly, staring at our city and its territory, which is shrinking over time.   The uncontrolled expansion of cities is a real ecological threat to humanity, scientists believe that more than 70% of current CO2 emissions are related to the needs of cities. Yet "all over the world, we are adopting "Western" urban and architectural styles, which are resource-intensive and too often unsuited to local climatic conditions. The North American suburb has been exported around the world, with its model of individual car traffic," says Professor Karen Seto of Yale University. The Sainte-Victoire Mountain provided me with a setting to apprehend a complex environment, straddling city and countryside. It provided a framework for my research, and unveiled my photographic interest by moving away from a purely natural approach. I have attempted to confront two worlds that seem incompatible and yet live together, side by side, without any obvious rules. Photographing urban spaces in a broader environmental context, with Sainte-Victoire as the only landmark to help understand how the world shapes urban landscapes and how urban landscapes shape the world. I have observed this mountain for several years now, with the desire to finally feel at home.
