Des photographies de champs de bataille sont mises en abime, ici Verdun en France - Première Guerre Mondiale, entourées de photographies de végétaux, symbole de vie mais retournées en négatifs et organisées en forme de croix, symbole de mort autant que de vie pour la foi chrétienne, intersection entre passé et avenir.
Ces collages pleins de paradoxes questionnent l’actualité de ces lieux historiques, qui ont vu périr un grand nombre de vies humaines sur une si petite superficie et l’incidence de leur symbolique dans la conscience collective.

« Crossroads between life and death : It is about questioning the paradox exacerbated on the battlefields of our contemporary history.
I use glances of veneration on a divinized nature, but passed through the prism of the inversion of colors to propose to the viewers to keep in conscience the irreversible consequences of the murderous actions which inhabit all battlefields.
Here in Verdun, France, where 700,000 men died in battle, the great symbol of the First World War, the footprints of history are displayed like the wounds of a humanity that has shaken its limits. » _Melanie-Jane Frey
