This project explores the complex social desires and paradoxes that shape everyday life in a mid-sized European city. The work grew through daily life shared with people and a direct, unfiltered relationship with our subjects. Through personal connections with migrant families, the LGBTQ+ community and persons from distinct class contexts, our project develops within the layered reality of contemporary urban life. The use of diptychs forms the backbone of a circular, non-didactic narrative, tracing a visual blueprint of a Europe in transformation. Through "Franchement", we aim to document how local experiences reflect resilience, change, and belonging across the continent today.
