"I met Edith Thoueille, responsible for childcare and child Protection Maternelle de Paris 14e, which for 15 years, doing an outstanding job with blind women wishing to have a child. It strives to combat prejudice, and encourages these women do not. This meeting was crucial: I saw and photographed Edith accompanying and guiding the blind woman and her baby, and then there were the others …
I looked carefully these women behave with such accuracy and precision with their child, and I admired. I tried to imagine, to close their eyes, naively, to see what they do not, without success, because the mixing, I realized that they saw what I did not, and vice versa. And it seemed absurd to try to compare or look for a difference."
