Scars

In April 2023, Héloïse Maret set off for several weeks to Japan and Korea, a trip she had been dreaming of for years. On her return, she suddenly lost her father. Her great grief at this unexpected loss transformed the idyllic vision of her stay in Asia, leaving a tear, an open wound that she symbolically heals with a red thread. She seeks to rebuild herself in her new, shattered world.

Each image was taken during her trip to Asia, which will forever be linked to her father's departure.

Héloïse Maret, born in 1983, a photographer who graduated from the Vevey School of Applied Arts in 2006, lives and works in Valais. Winner of the 2014 State of Valais artist residency in Berlin.

Through photography, she expresses a form of poetry about human beings and their environment. She constructs her images, in a thoughtful staging, to convey an emotion, an impression, a perception of people, landscapes and life. With a predilection for red, the color of blood, passion and vital energy. His creations express a personal perception of the world.
