I decided to share this project because I was going through a period of spiritual searching and contemplation of nature. I came across a spider web in a garden and observed a spider at its center, he had an orange triangle drawn on its back. It was holding all the threads of its web and silently waiting for its prey.


What a fascinating architect of the microcosm.


I decided to capture insects in various poses and colors, studying the shape that nature has given them. In this project, I want to emphasize the world of microcosm: insects that existed before humans and populate the Earth. I aim to marvel at what cannot be seen and discover a world full of colors and surprises.
What is the logic behind this creation, and what message does it want to communicate ?


Louise Bourgeois said: “Like the web, this world is a place of seductive and horrible beauty. Inevitably, we are drawn into it, and as we are, we begin to see that the unconscious world we explore has its own logic.”
It’s difficult to remember what isn’t clearly visible — every day, our reality is made up of cities, offices, and concrete. We pay little attention to nature and forget what it contains.


Man is an insect who has lost the taste for discovery.

Here he can astonished again.

The mass of insects is significantly greater than that of humanity. Terrestrial arthropods (including insects) represent about 1 billion metric tons, while the human biomass is estimated at 60 million metric tons.

I would like to praise the nature and the mircocosme, to highlight what we don t see but work for us in the invisible field.

« Golden bee, like the honey you've spilled,
What fate awaits you in this world grown still?
Within your belly, life softly resides,
Like our sacred mother, wherever you glide.

We long to lift you gently in our hands,
That future generations may understand.
Fly over rooftops, spread your shimmering hue,
In your presence, our wonder is renewed.

O bee, masterpiece of boundless space,
We celebrate your fleeting grace,
And hold in our hearts the hope so bright—
Your mystery endures beyond the night.»
