Beautiful, Maïlys. Your photos are stunning, as are your words. I love the concept of holding space for others to see their own light. What a wonderful way to support and empower. Thank you so much for sharing this piece!

Awww thank you for these nice words Louise 🥰 Yes, supporting and empowering are definitely what light me up, but I think I became more aware of the ‘empowering’ side when I wrote my Siren Song for IWD.

This is such a beautiful piece Maïlys, thank you for sharing your words and gorgeous photographs. As a fellow shadow swimmer myself I am so captivated by these images especially the one I think you’re calling ‘not an exit and invitation’. Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you so much for commenting Julia 🙏 And also for inspiring me because I was working on that draft and struggling to connect the different things I had in mind (pictures, dance…) but talking with you last week unblocked my flow 😊 So you’re definitely very good at helping people step into their light, even when you’re not trying 😉
