Photography
Joelle’s landscape photography is a practice of cultivated solitude and a pursuit of inner peace. She is drawn to remote, isolated places where the noise of the world fades, allowing for a direct and personal encounter with the environment. In an era of constant overstimulation, she seeks out landscapes where silence and space dominate, composing minimalist scenes that reveal more by showing less.
Released in June 2026
Abstract - Étude de textures
Sold as limited edition fine art paper prints and digital collectibles
This project documents the patterns, surfaces, and textures found in both natural and urban environments. Fossils, bark, rust, patina, or the incidental beauty of oil swirling in a dirty pan are photographed up close, some losing their identity entirely under the lens. The series is driven by a fascination with decay and transformation, and by the way similar patterns appear across wildly different materials.
Many of these subjects are fleeting. A dandelion about to lose its last seeds, a piece of metal mid-corrosion, pigments caught mid-extraction. The awareness that what I am looking at may be gone or transformed by tomorrow is part of what keeps me present and attentive, always scanning my surroundings for something worth capturing before it disappears. This archive forms the foundation of my broader practice in fibres, feeding directly into my work with natural dyeing, pigment extraction, handmade paper, textiles, and sculptural elements in wood, metal, and concrete.

Process & bts
Documenting reproducible outcomes
A lot of the creative process revolves around experimentation and research, so she has to document her entire process to make sure the colors, textures and effects can be reproduced.
Every experiment is logged into a database, while inks and pigments are stored to test how they age over time.
She started shooting landscape while on medical leave from her job in finance to share the beautiful scenes she got to explore in the wilderness.
Created between 2018 & 2024

The motivation behind the work
Joelle’s landscape photography is a practice of cultivated solitude and a pursuit of inner peace. She is drawn to remote, isolated places where the noise of the world fades, allowing for a direct and personal encounter with the environment.

Many of her photo works are composite images that often require days of editing.

Into The Void
0xsociety · Montréal 2023
Twelve astrophotography pieces were showcased at 0xSociety (New City Gas) during the Lumen festival.
Astrophotography began as a personal ritual; a therapeutic exploration that had a deep impact on Joelle's personal growth. Capturing scenes in remote locations that are challenging to reach, her work invites viewers to step into a dreamlike state.
