The connection. If the beautiful adventure, which ended at the beginning of the month, brought us anything, it was a connection. Tenuous at first, it strengthened over the weeks, months, encounters, and women who agreed to share part of their intimacy. This connection was forged by 118 hands, one might say. Those of the 53 women who followed one another, those of the 5 photographers who captured them, and… mine. This chain of hearts was born from an obvious fact: one day (March 8) to celebrate women is not enough! I wanted to show that the people of French-speaking Switzerland are concerned about the world around them, committed to defending their rights and interests, but also simply women.
