I often think about you. I think about the moments we spent together, the carefree days, our lives, and when I think about it, I imagine a firework display. We had a beautiful, free, and flamboyant life. But deep down, I always planned an end to this relationship. Because deep down, I didn't believe in it. It wasn't supposed to happen like this. At first, it was just a one-night stand, we weren't supposed to see each other again. But then it happened, and I let myself get swept away, never having the courage to end it. But it wasn't supposed to happen like this. Then I told you I love you because it seemed like I did, but in truth, I wasn't sure. But I let it slide, I let myself drift... We continued, I told myself I was fine, you loved me. I had temptations, all the time, I flirted, I was there without really being there, alive but not committed. Then we moved in together, it was the logical next step but really, it wasn't supposed to happen like this. Then the question of having a child came up, I still wasn't sure but I let it happen. Anna arrived, everything changed, everything turned upside down in my head.

​

Today you're not here anymore, you, I finally managed to leave you. But now that I'm alone at home, our former home, I see it everywhere, I feel your absence, I'm lost, confused, it wasn't supposed to happen like this either.

So somewhere, I envy the happiness of others and sometimes I wish I could be part of it.

In Happiness in Stock, instead of pitying myself, I decided to explore my humorous side: I decided to photobomb pictures found on stock photo websites and insert myself into them with a deliberate taste for kitsch.

In the final form of the exhibition, you could take and play with photos of me, physically added to the stock photos, in the style of children's books.

I also wrote a text about my longing for the happiness of others and generated an AI version inspired by the Marseille rapper JUL.
