Things I Remember

2020

My stay in Tokyo marked the beginning of what would become a way of life for the next following decade: travelling and reflecting on the experience encountered through photography, drawing and writing. This is where I produced the first of many later travel sketch books. The idea came about after a month or so in Tokyo, by which time I had began to notice minor everyday life details that contrasted sharply and stood as even possibly odd when perceived from a different cultural background. I began collecting these observations in the form of simple black and white drawing done with a naive touch and commented on the situation with short sentences in French, often based on a pun referring to French expression that unfortunately can hardly be translated into English. 

The travel sketch book 


I AM MA.
As simple as that.
And I work on the space between things.
