Growing up along the Saint-Lawrence River in Montréal, water has always held a special place in my life and community. It brings people together, offering both a sense of connection and a calming presence. This mini-collection explores the deep bond between humans and bodies of water. Known to soothe the mind, water inspired me to capture feelings of freedom and weightlessness through flowing silhouettes, cascading ruffles, and wave-like lines.
