Lambi's cimetery

In this series, gravestone ornaments are transformed into conch shells—creatures that are both majestic and endangered. Through a play on formal resemblance and visual metamorphosis, these funerary decorations slip into another life, oscillating between abstraction and figuration. The cemetery thus becomes a twilight realm where memory, disappearance, and survival intersect. Like these detritivorous snails, whose slow decline has been linked to overfishing since the 1980s, the photographed forms seem to be dying a slow death, in silent invisibility. Between ecological metaphor and funerary resonance, the series offers a reflection on fragility: that of species, of rites, and of the very idea of permanence. The conch, once a luxurious delicacy, emerges here as a specter, summoned into a dialogue with the dead and the abstract forms of the living. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
