I am in my third year of art school in Belgium, and I chose to do a semester in Montreal (from sept to dec 2022) to experience the long adaptation experience in another space. I loved it. I'm doing printmaking, painting, and I'm starting to do performance too, and it's great. Before my art school I studied philosophy and I worked on self-portraiture, and mirrors in art... I am a big lover of cycling, I like fixing it and riding my bike. I have a great sensitivity to the ecological cause, and therefore I try to travel without costing too much to the environments in which I go, that's why I often volunteer! I love working on farms while learning and having fun in the community. I think I find my balance when I can put my hands in the ground from time to time... in Brussels (where I live year-round), I work in a market selling organic fruit and vegetables outdoors , and I have a lot of fun !! I have some political engagements in Belgium, I do some bike parades, I do demonstrations for human rights and I am in a lesbian collective. I'm also vegan, anti-capitalist, anti-colonialist.

My Interests
Biking !!! I love visiting places by bike. But I also like walking and hiking. I go to museums or galleries. I must admit that I like working in the library for lessons because it's quiet and I feel good surrounded by all these books. But I also sometimes like the madness of nightclubs, because I love to dance! I spend a lot of time with my friends, chilling, watching movies, cooking... but I do enjoy myself alone and I do also enjoy myself alone visiting places.
