This body of work examines the environmental impact of large-scale industrial farming, where vast feedlots and concentrated operations reshape the landscapes of the American Midwest and Great Plains.

In June 2025, I documented protests that erupted in Los Angeles and other major U.S. cities in response to ICE raids targeting migrants.

In recent years, clandestine immigration into the United States has surged. I documented migrants crossing the wall and their arrests by Border Patrol, amid heightened tensions within a deeply divided American public.

Like a haunting postcard from a dystopian future, the Salton Sea is slowly evaporating. Its salt-scorched beaches now lie buried deep under thick layers of toxic alluvial dust.
The American West was forged on myths of conquest, mastery, and turning desert into garden. Today, that myth is crumbling—sometimes spectacularly, sometimes imperceptibly—as I document landscapes and bodies of water ravaged by drought, pollution, and neglect.

Distressed by what was happening to our society during the pandemic and lockdowns, I took part in many demonstrations in Quebec and in California.

The desolate landscapes surrounding the Salton Sea carry deep social, political, environmental, and metaphorical resonances. They evoke the image of a lost America—an era when everything once seemed possible and within reach for all.

In the summer of 2021, British Columbia endured a brutal heat wave and extreme drought that sparked widespread forest fires. I traveled to the Thompson River Valley to photograph their rapid advance.

In June 2020, a massive inferno raged north of Lac Saint-Jean. I ventured along rough gravel roads into this unorganized territory, navigating its blackened, moonlike desert landscapes.

The legitimacy of the European Union was supposed to be based on prosperity and fairness for all. Yet today, its citizens are asked to accept greater sacrifices while globalists and multinationals reap record profits.

These panoramas reflect our fascination with the grandiose and our ambivalent relationship with nature. They compel us to question how we construct our views of the land and the meanings—or preconceptions—we project onto it.

Through an ongoing underwater project, I explore waters altered by pollution and human activity. The series traces ecological upheaval while highlighting the remarkable, resilient beauty that continues to flourish below.
