My current obsession is kindness. That word means nothing and everything at the same time. I’m thinking of a series of portraits of healthcare professionals. I’d like to find a different word than “kindness.” To me, it holds immense value and significance. Humanity in a hospital is what matters most.

It’s truly remarkable—the healthcare staff at the Institut Curie are all so kind. I’m thinking of a series of portraits or a group portrait that would showcase them as exemplary healthcare providers, as seen through my eyes and endorsed by yours.

A symbolic, understated photograph—small in size and in color, since I can convert it to black and white, but not the other way around. It would be a photograph that moves me deeply and represents the people who take care of me. It would be a reassuring image. It’s thanks to them that I’m so resilient; they support me. That’s what matters most.

I picture these healthcare workers in a place that symbolizes Marie Curie—a woman with a kind heart who fought hard and possessed both courage and compassion.
