After living 15 years away, I was given the gift of rediscovering my hometown from an outsider perspective. Every trip, I walk and I watch, I stop and I observe, I capture a moment of Paris life as I remember it and I freeze it to bring it home with me. A work of heart. 'We Rise' depicts a hidden staircase, old and dark, yet climbing up to the light inside one of the most glorious passageways in the city. A symbolic representation of trusting your journey.
