Women of the night shelter

With an identical artistic protocol for each triptych, the "Femmes de la Halte" (Women of the night shelter) series highlights women who are usually invisible (homeless women) in portraits where they gradually reveal themselves with modesty and dignity.

With an identical artistic protocol for each triptych, the series Femmes de la Halte brings to light women who are usually invisible in portraits where they gradually reveal themselves with modesty and dignity. In these triptychs, they (former homeless women) show their personalities and faces by revealing themselves in three ways: from the back, from the front and through an object that is dear to them.

In the evening, they come to the night shelter to recharge their batteries and rest. They are accompanied and helped to move towards a permanent housing solution and a new life.

Among these "Women of the night shelter", there are also those who, every evening, are there to welcome those who are housed, those who listen: the social workers. They also lent themselves to the three-part portrait exercise, because all these women have something to show, something to tell about themselves that others don't know.
