THE NEW ROMANTICS

It's been some time now that I've wanted to talk about youth, and more specifically Moroccan youth.

The Morocco of tomorrow will depend on the youth of today.

I started my project with a series I called "the new romantics" in this series of photographs, I present portraits of young Men whom I ask to pose with flowers of their own choosing, and so, in a completely symbolic manner, I try to invoke sensitivity and romanticism where one would think it would not exist.

In realizing these portraits, I came to know a certain youth - A youth that thirsts for freedom, and love, with a great sense of humor, a unique sense of syle, and solidarity, but also a youth in distress.

We are all subject to etiquette, to roles others have chosen for us, determined by our gender/sex, origins, culture or religion.

My idea to present men with flowers was also a way to address the stereotypes that imprison us , as Woman or man and in certain societies more than others..I wanted to address this with a lot of levity, in a manner marked by playfulness and naivete.

It was important to me to reveal faces far from the clichés and the stereotypes, to discover a masculine youth that was diverse, not one with a single facet. The softness is there, one just has to look for it
