Last Sunday, Sandaga Roundabout hosted a street naming ceremony in honor of Senegal’s iconic figures.

Arriving early at the venue, I discovered a setting that was both ceremonial and deeply artistic.

What is beautiful about nature is that the older it gets, the more beautiful it becomes. And the simpler it is, the more naturally beautiful it is.

Not to oblivion, but to the bitter waiting of renewal.
Such is the bitter poetry of Saint-Louis: a masterpiece choosing its own fall, leaving behind a luminous scar on the horizon.

THE DEMOLITION
SAINT-LOUIS IN THE SHADOW'S SHADE.
The architecture undresses itself, revealing the dark soul of a once-beautiful form.
At the edge of the abyss, the relic stands noble and tragic ready to surrender its place.

Very nice !!!

Solitary commitment of a woman of power: two empty armchairs facing her. But make no mistake... Sitting on these armchairs will never give you its power. A woman's power is sometimes irreversible. And above all... irrecoverable.

Mon regard solitaire posé sur Dubaï. Ville légendaire, étouffée par sa beauté et sa chaleur… Une solitude qui se cache derrière les lumières.

My lonely gaze on Dubai. Legendary city, suffocated by its beauty and warmth... A solitude that hides behind the lights.

It was nighttime in the streets of Saint Louis. I was walking with a friend when she stopped, amazed:
“Oh Mary, look at the night under the trees… it’s so beautiful.”

And snap. I took out my Z9. Here’s the result: under the trees, the moon, as luminous as ever.

The Power of the Moon
You must always have the strength of the moon—the one that keeps its beauty and continues to shine, even through the darkest clouds.

But I photographed it not to defy their discretion, but to magnify it, to show the simple beauty of their lives.

And while they live… I’m always chasing after a Leica camera. Ah, life… it goes on, doesn’t it?

Their laundry is washed within the family. Perhaps they are women who live in complete discretion. And if there’s one thing we can see from them, it’s just their laundry hanging after being washed, needing only light and wind for a few hours.

Modest human lives are always rich in meaning. There are people so simple, living in total anonymity, who are content with little but are happy on the inside.

Ohh thank you so much!!

Yesterday I cried while looking at a photo I took in extreme poverty.

Remembering that in this world there will always be people who will have to manage all their own, without privileges or wealth.

While those who were born in their privileges scream everywhere!!

You right!!

Thank you so much!

The direct gaze of a forced silence, what words don’t say, the eyes do — and directly, without hesitation.

It is in this way that, while watching television, I raised my eyes and came upon this palm leaf that was floating, and its reflection on the glass, accompanied by the lights of the chandelier—everything became a single element for me. I took some photos to engrave this in my mind.
