L’Absente by Aela Labbe takes the form of an extended allegory or visually alliterative verse. An ode dedicated to "absence" in all of its meanings; the missing, the lost, those disappeared or simply things invisible or out of sight. For the photographer, L’Absente holds a deeper meaning, more intimately connected to freedom; providing a door through which to free one’s mind and escape the commonplace.
