A compilation of photographs taken from a journey on the roads of the United States with my mother, the Backroad series is both a personal diary and a documentary of the American life. Through an epic escapade spanning more than 11,000 kilometers and nearly twenty states, this series provides a unique portrait of rural life in Middle America.


Combining portraits of people and places, this documentary series looks at the notions of territory and identity. With a tender look at these people encountered by chance along the way, this incursion on the American territory seeks to feel the pulse of the America that lives outside the major city centers.
