“French-Moroccan artist Carolle Benitah is one a the rising photographer in the field of women photography and one the most vibrant voice evocating the complex reality of family relationship as a woman, wife, daughter and mother; With her series Photo souvenirs, she has explores and reinterprets her own life with handmade accents, such as embroidery with gold, red and black treads to tell another vision of her personal story that could be as well the universal story of anyone.” – Corinne Tapia
