The Bronx-La Villette is a project that began in 2015, born from a deep curiosity and desire to explore the parallels and contrasts between two neighborhoods that, at first glance, seem worlds apart: the South Bronx in New York and La Villette in Paris.
Over the course of several years, I traveled between these two urban spaces, immersing myself in the communities, meeting their residents, and witnessing the rhythm of their daily lives. What began as a simple photography project soon transformed into a larger narrative—one that seeks to highlight the shared human experience, despite cultural and geographical differences.
This series of black and white portraits delves into the lives of the people who inhabit these neighborhoods. Through their faces, we see stories of resilience, diversity, and the beauty of everyday existence. Each image offers a glimpse into the quiet moments of life in places that are often misunderstood or overlooked.
