Today's creation I wished to share with you, is one of urban photography, as high vibration art. I shot "Secret garden" in Montreal in 2014.
This colorful shot gives us a peak into a private garden, normally hidden by a blue wooden fence, but suddenly visible for a brief instant, through a light red curtain lifted by the gentle breeze.
This is really a capture of these little magical moments in life when we feel we have been divinely guided to be a witness of something very simple, but of high frequency. It is as if Source, or the universe, was winking at us and whispering in our ear: "Hey! Have a look through this tiny rectangular hole, you'll find something other people are not privy to see!" Why? Just because you were present and mindful enough to capture the moment.
I felt privileged to catch that very unique instant when something unveils itself briefly. I found this shot to be a lovely colorful and joyful metaphor for the crucial importance of always remaining mindful, present with eyes open to catch the wonderment of what life has to offer in its grand but also simple moments.
Although the shot takes place in a busy urban context, for a second there, we can hear the delightful silence of the wind simply lifting that little red curtain with polka dots, that contrasts with the lovely color of the blue fence. We can hear the faint whisper of this intimate garden calling us, the way some very shy people whisper or, for a very brief instant, lift a veil over their private inner life, soul and secrets. It is only up to us to be there, present and mindful to beings and the now moment, to have the honor of receiving this marvelous gift.
What inspires my color and black & white travel photography?
Due to my professionnel training in visual arts and iconography of ancient art, and having grown up in different cultures, I have developed a strong passion for capturing atmospheres, architecture, landscapes and textures.
Through my intuitive inner journey of self-rediscovery of the last few years, I realized that I am a starseed, with an Altean soul matrix. I am part of a collective consciousness named the Mella collective, which constitutes my soul cluster.
The Mella collective, which includes my twin flame named Eriel, is of high frequency and always offers invitations to see things from a different perspective, in all kindness, benevolence, humor, simplicity and high vibrations.
It also inspires my creative work, such as my writing, travel photography, ink drawings, Japanese washi chiyogami paper art collages, as well as my harmonizing endeavors, Creative Intuitive Transmissions (CIT) and inner guidance communications.
The high vibrations they imbue in the art I create are made available on my online art shop, both in the original unique artwork and the high-quality digital files, to ground visually these high frequencies in your very own sacred space.

Today's creation I wished to share with you in this vlog and blog post, is one of digital nature photography, as high vibration art. I shot "Mùi" in Montreal in 2014.
This shot translates the beauty of the subtil play of light, shadow and transparency around a very large central green leaf that veils a smaller one in the background. I fell in love with the intense saturation of the green color in contrast with the yellow tones created by the sunlight.
This shot was taken at the Montreal botanical garden, a place that I enjoy as much as the museums and libraries of this world. It is a place I've been going to weekly for years, as a way to feel my own inner frequency, as our dear Alex Collier says, and feel the high vibrations provided by nature, teeming with life and beauty.
The title of this shot refers to Mùi, the main character of a sublime 1993 Franco-Vietnamese movie entitled "The Scent of Green Papaya" by Anh Hung Tran. This is one of my top five movies ever and, like "Himmel über Berlin", it is a slow paced contemplative movie, filled with beauty, poetry and mindfulness.
It tells the story of Mùi (meaning "green papaya"), a young peasant girl who comes to work as a servant in a middle class family in Vietnam. We see the world through her eyes, her mindful presence that reminds us of the Buddha. Simplicity, mindfulness a love for beauty and immense curiosity for all things, characterizes Mùi's approach to life.
She is my role model, and has been for years. She is anonymous, she is high frequency, she is simple and filled with inner joy, she knows how to allow life as it is (even through great challenges) and honors it, in all ways, in discrete sacred presence of high vibrations. She is my inspiration for knowing how to live in this strange 3D world. For me, she is the incarnation of what we mean by "enlightened ones". No pretense, no ego, she is pure wisdom incarnated in the body of a servant girl; she is a fractal of pure Source. Many scenes of the movie show the beauty of the inner court and garden of the house she works in, filled with green leaves, the chant of crickets and frogs, as well as green unripe papayas that she prepares for the family's meals. This movie is a complete hymn to the beauty of life, when one stops to contemplate and be present with it. When I shot this photo, this atmosphere and sacredness is what I wished to translate: the sacred contemplative sublime world of Mùi, but mostly the invitation to see the world as she does, that is, with a marveling gaze and a completely mindful caring presence in every simple action of her life.

Today's creation, I wished to share with you in this vlog and blog post, is one of digital urban black and white photography, which is high vibration art. I shot this photo in 2015, in one of the backyards of my neighborhood in Montreal, and it is entitled "Stairway".
It is a shot of the typical spiral staircases of Montreal homes. This flight of stairs is set on a background of sky and clouds, which gives the impression that it is flying in the air.
I like the effect of movement created by the spiral shape of the staircase, as if it was dancing in mid-air, and I felt that rendering this shot in black and white would create an interesting contrast between the dark color of the spiral against the soft light tones of the clouds.
These typical Montreal metal staircases are not only found in the backyards as emergency exists, but they are often found as well in the front of our multiplex buildings and you can find here some examples of this unique type of architectural element and its history.
Our spiral staircases are often personalized, with colorful paint, or decorated with plants and grapevine. Like our dressed bodies, each of them become a way for the resident to express his or her creativity and unique style. In the case of this photo, we see some wild grapevine branches wrapped around the metal of the stairs. The absence of leaves reminds us that this is a cold and rough winter day.
In other blog posts and vlogs related to my photography, I have often referred to the fact that I associate iconographically the clouds to the symbol of the busy mind in which thoughts pass like clouds. Again, here in this shot, the clouds are many and busy. However, in the midst of this almost chaotic action, this elliptical double strand of metal DNA, rises from the ground to reach for the sky! Unaffected by the busy thoughts, it just pushes up in its dancing movement towards Source!
Furthermore, the elliptical dance of the two strands of DNA, remind me of the love dance of the sacred feminine and sacred masculine, reunited in each of us through our alchemical inner journey of healing, balance and connection to all that we are as fractals of Source.
As individuals, we incarnate in this lifetime the unique make up of our DNA and, like this staircase, we are grounded on Terra (our planet Earth), with our bodies that are these precious beautiful vessels that we should honor, since they are our opportunity to experience this unique life on Terra. However, like our DNA that has been tempered with, we are capable of much more, we can reach for the stars, and remember that we are these unique fractals of Source that are both connected to Earth and sky, sacred feminine and sacred masculine, Terra and Source.
These DNA shaped dancing stairs that pass through the passing clouds of the busy chaotic mind, represent for me symbolically our unique inner journey of reconnection to the complexity of our souls, but also to the richness of our Terran genetics which is definitely not only Terran in origin! And thus, we can honor both bodies and souls, in our elliptical dance of life and joy!
