This project is ongoing
2014 - /

FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, I have travelled at least once a year to Nunavik, the homeland of the Inuit of Quebec, on assignment for Air Inuit, documenting positive forces in most of the fourteen communities within Nunavik. During these travels, in an attempt to move away from the usual romantic and folkloric notions with which southerners have traditionally portrayed the North, I've also created a body of work representing my personal experience within the Inuit community. Using symbolism, various themes of the recorded history and contemporary life in the North are subtly brought to the forefront. Focusing on the idea of contrasts, which permeates my experience of the North, the work combines a documentary approach with the visual language of dreams. 

 

The photographs presented on this website are part of a much larger body of work.

A selection of photographs from this project were presented as an exhibition at Montreal's The Letter Bet gallery, in July 2018.
