about me

Imagining this website, I've decided to use the time as a designer instead of cataloging my projects according to their nature, photographic, as an actress or director. I do not have a linear path, not at all, but "linear" is an adjective that I would never use for life, for any life. But, like everyone, I'm trying to find a thread, to see if there is a path in the dark, we are all a little like Tom Thumb.
