Reconstruire, 2016
Her project, entitled Reconstruire, has been developed through encounters with Syrian refugees living in Leipzig, Germany.
They rebuild their present and prepared their future in a peaceful country surrounded by an unknown language, a population of anonyms, different cultures and stories. They are slowly discovering this city, which will become their home. Their past lives are still impressed in their memory, some areas of Leipzig bring their memories back to Aleppo, Raqqa or Damascus.
Reconstruire reflects elements of Syrian cities in photography of their host city, evoking a mix of memories within the new landscapes they now live in.
