Serpent d’océan

"Serpent d'océan" is a monumental sculpture, 430 ft long in total. The work is installed in the territory Saint-Brevin-les-Pins in France, at the limit where the Loire estuary joins the Atlantic Ocean. By photographing fragments of the sculpture, I aimed to create images full of dynamics and drama.
