A decade in, and this one still feels electric. Shot mere hours before the world hit pause—before silence took over and movement became a memory. The raw, cinematic stillness of the Bardenas desert. The charged quiet before the storm. Slow Down for Blanc Magazine, captured by Melanie Bordas, directed by Marie David. A moment frozen, just before everything changed.


We drove from home in Biarritz, listening good music, sharing stories, café croissants and some covid worries. 2h later, we arrived in this astonishing empty desert. Red dunes, giant rocks, light sand and long roads... a sanctuary of secrets.

My lungs were filled with fresh air. My eyes were amazed by those organic colors. I have a dream to sing and do a music video in a desert since years. Is it a signal friend ?



I thought " today I won't modeling - I will give to Melanie my art, my body and my emotions". I just did.
Women know what they want. 5 creative women together.. pff bomb !

The all session was flawless and fun. To celebrate our human connexion and creativity to the earth, we danced all together next to the van watching the sunset. Homemade tapas, beers, loud music, under a fire sky. We loved it !
