Ongoing series since 2019
She is one of the most photographed monuments in the world, yet in this series she is never quite herself.
La Dame gathers images of the Eiffel Tower photographed from a single private rooftop in Paris, through the same frame, at different hours and in different weathers. The point of view does not move. What moves is light — and with it, everything.
The tower absorbs the colour of the sky and gives it back transformed. At sunset she turns copper. In a winter storm she goes slate-black. Through rain on a window she blurs into a watercolour. Once, only once, a red aurora turned her crimson against a burning sky.
The series refuses the postcard. It treats the monument as a sitter, a character, a surface on which the atmosphere paints its daily portrait. Each image is a different version of the same figure — the same dress never worn twice.
What the series reveals is not the tower, nor the sky. It is the quiet evidence that repetition, patiently practised, is the only way to truly see.
