In her series \u201cEspace des fragments\u201d, she interrogates the concept of dark matter, which, though invisible, shapes our reality. Through layering and shifts, she unveils the deep layers of the human being, blending memory and physical reality. Her visual approach highlights these inner fragments that compose our existence, offering a poetic and enigmatic representation of our inner world.

She graduated in art and graphic design from ENSAAMA and later attended the Gobelins School of Image for photography until 2017. What is evident in her work is the proximity between painting and material that she translates through art, fashion, and portraiture. Ella Bats explores the medium of digital photography, utilizing the capabilities of retouching through layering, multiplication, and fusion of different layers. She questions the connections between an individual\u2019s inner world and how it can be represented. She establishes an intimate dialogue with her subjects, allowing their humanity to appear uniquely. Photography has always been, for her, both a
\nmeans of representing a world and an attempt to understand others.

It is only known to the world because of its gravitational effects on the visible. With \u2018Espace des fragments\u2019, it finally reveals itself to us . It enters our visual
\nrealm. The fractured landscape, bodies and scenery, the visible and invisible at once woven into an enigmatic, graphic, and vibrant dance, all conjure up an image of this fragment – a fragment which lives within every one of us. Time no longer exists, reality merges into memories, mental projections into corporeal truths. Dark matter binds our fragments together – physically, spatially and humanly. Superimpositions, ghosting, blur spots and aberrations in the photographic process shed light on this fragment. \u2018Espace des fragments \u2019 uncovers the presence of a shadow sister moulding each moment of our lives.[\/vc_column_text]\n
