Amanda Bouchenoire’s artistic practice resembles a quest for spiritual elevation through imagery. From the beginning, art has been a refuge, a mirror, and a tool for transformation for her. Through photography, she explores the relationship between perception, emotion, and matter, using reflective surfaces—water, glass, metal, and eyes—as thresholds to inner dimensions and sensitive states.

Her work is built from the everyday. Far from the spectacular, her gaze settles on the immediate, revealing the extraordinary in the seemingly insignificant. For over twenty years, and through numerous solo and group exhibitions, Bouchenoire has developed a coherent and evolving body of work focused on the fragility of the world and its ability to reveal itself in the simplest things. Her consistent use of reflective elements is no coincidence: they return fragmented images and function as mirrors of the soul and the environment.

Convinced that there is no single version of reality, her work proposes a perceptual openness. In her practice, art acts as a catalyst for awareness, questioning visual codes and awakening sensitivity. Her work invites contemplation and, in an act of connection, empathy, and the possibility of transformation.

In times of uncertainty, her practice stands as an exercise in resilience: a way to reinvent oneself through creation, to find beauty in what is near, and to travel without moving. It is enough to look deeply, with sensitivity, and with the will to see the positive even in the simplest things. The camera, then, does not merely record—it reveals.
