TITLE: The beard's philosophy

From March to May 2019 I asked friends and colleagues, all united by the fact that they have a more or less long, well-groomed or uncultivated beard, to pose for photographic portraits. Men, all employed, at various levels and with different roles, in the difficult task of Hospital Assistance. The project immediately fascinated me.
In each face, I seemed to see a heroic gaze surrounded by an aura of chivalrous romanticism. Bright and bold looks like those of ancient warriors, committed every day to take care of people's health.
