Photographer: Jennifer Lescouet-Pot
I became deaf at the age of eight and this story is mine.
Deafness is a world of silence that envelops you like a bubble wherever you are. You have no choice but to be alone with yourself.
The other senses develop, such as sight and touch, and you pay much more attention to what is around you.
Your eyes, your vision of things change, the smallest gestures, details, invisible emotions become visible to you.
Diagnosed as hypersensitive, my emotions can quickly become a constraint in certain situations of life; but it is thanks to them that I discovered and found refuge in photographic art.
I was afraid to take this path at the beginning, but I finally took it thanks to the encouragement and the motivation of my relatives.
Thus, I was able to study at the Efet school of photography in Paris in order to improve myself, to capture everything I feel and to put all these emotions into images.
Welcome to my world.
