Where light remembers what time forgets.

At the heart of Paris, Le Temps Se Passe transforms the Arc de Triomphe into a living monument of motion and memory. Captured through long exposure from high above the Champs-Élysées, the city’s energy unfurls like a river of gold — each streak of light tracing the passage of time itself. Cars become constellations, avenues turn to streams, and history breathes beneath the luminous choreography of modern life. It is both timeless and transient — a portrait of Paris in motion, inviting you to see the world as it can never be seen again.

Crafted to Endure

Each edition is printed on archival-grade Kodak Glossy 10 mil stock using museum-quality pigment inks, preserving both depth of tone and the fluidity of light. The glossy surface enhances the contrast of the heart of Paris between the Arc’s enduring stone and the ephemeral glow of its surroundings, balancing permanence with pulse. Every piece is signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, confirming provenance and collector exclusivity.

Artist’s Note

The Arc de Triomphe is more than stone — it is the heart of Paris. That night, the city moved like a living clock, its light tracing invisible hands across the sky. Le Temps Se Passe is my meditation on endurance — on how even fleeting motion becomes eternal when seen from the right moment.
