“UNNOTICED MOMENTS”
Childhood is a unique period, with all the complexity of growth and discovery of the world interleaved with simple yet meaningful events. A mixture of raw emotions and deep analysis. At first, everything is lived in the present, with no bias or preconceived beliefs. As years pass, more experience is gained and the analysis becomes more refined and more influenced by the environment. The same is true for emotional maturity. As a psychologist, Marie Véran has always been fascinated by the unnoticed everyday situations children are confronted to and how these situations can significantly impact their development and shape their personality. And since each event can be experienced very differently depending on each child’s own personal traits and sensitivity, the combinations are infinite. Children do express their emotions, joy, sadness, awe, anger, often by directly transposing them into their facial expression and body language. This is why she believes that photography is the perfect instrument to document the intensity of those little events. With her work, she hopes to help people better understand children and possibly be more mindful in their presence. Indeed, with each photograph she has chosen, one cannot help wonder: “What were their feelings, what were their thoughts at that specific moment?”
Childhood is also a time when imagination plays a key part in the development of the personality. This is why she has also included metaphoric photographs representing this period.
