Tu me manques

Shot in Montréal with production led by Chivalric Pictures, Tu Me Manques unfolds like a lost scene from a quiet, character-driven film. A woman sits alone in a dim room lit only by candles and the dying glow of a window lamp. Draped behind her is an old Americana flag — a symbol of a life she once shared, or perhaps escaped. She smokes slowly, the room frozen in amber haze, while a glass of bourbon rests at her side.

The story is simple but heavy: she’s waiting for someone who isn’t coming home. Maybe a lover, maybe a soldier, maybe a version of herself she hasn’t felt in years. The photographs explore the quiet rituals of longing; the pacing, the lighting of a match, the slump into a chair when hope dips low. Her expression shifts between numbness and flickers of memory, each frame capturing a different shade of missing someone so deeply they still occupy the room.

It’s an intimate portrait of absence, the space someone leaves behind, and the moments we’re forced to sit with it.
