This work aims to highlight Latin American musical culture in Europe, with a focus on the reggaeton style. It also explores how this music genre, which originally had a macho character, is being deconstructed and reappropriated within feminist circles. Starting by radically embracing and valuing characteristics traditionally associated with femininity, or by moving their bodies in any way they choose, the "reggaetoneras" have a key statement: to highlight female power and show that they decide for themselves.
This work is based on exchanges with the high school students from Marseille, who also shared their perceptions and experiences of adolescence.
By immersing themselves in the world of middle schoolers, the photographers allowed the issues and characteristic of this age to emerge.

This photographic series aims to rediscover what has been taken away or proscribed by patriarchy: beauty and self-love where injunctions have taken root and left their marks. Some are brought to light, while others still take time to reveal themselves, hiding in the shadows.
The images of the house in which this series takes place recall the place where our gatherings, our sisterhood and our unveiling took place. It was in this space that we came together and shared, away from the patriarchal gaze, our personal and bodily experiences to accept, reclaim and tenderly celebrate our limbs and scars. These persons from the close circle of mine discovered themselves by abandoning, for the time of a few images, the constructions that have taken root in their bodies, to begin to love them.
The interior details are photographed like the bodies themselves, in light frames on which the sun, acting as window and shuIer, casts its light and shadow. The house thus appears as a temple marked by time and the stories of our bodies.
