In Guadeloupe, the spiritual spills into the landscape. It lines the roads, cut through neighborhoods, open onto the sea, or disappear beneath tropical vegetation. In the weeks leading up to All Saints' Day, it becomes the stage for a seasonal economy sustained by groups of young men known as djobeurs, who earn money by painting and restoring the islands' distinctive black-and-white tiled graves. An ephemeral community emerges through the rhythms of work, movement, and waiting. By following these young men, the photographer continues her exploration of the ways in which French Caribbean youth inhabit the landscape, understood not only as a physical environment but also as a symbolic and spiritual territory. Blending documentary photography with a poetic, almost ritualistic gaze, she develops a magico-urban aesthetic, a visual language emerging from the encounter between mystical legacies, postcolonial memory, and contemporary urban cultures.
