J'ai créé exiledesigns en 2003. C'était la suite logique d'autres projets web entamés dès 1998, à l'époque où je n'étais qu'une ado à la recherche de repères. Depuis, l'eau a bien coulé sous les ponts. Ceci n'est que l'un de mes nombreux nouveaux départs.

I created exiledesigns back in 2003, when I was still an art student. It was not my first domain: I had been online since 1998 using free services first, then my own hosted domain. That long ago, purchasing web space while I was just only a teenage student represented such an investment! Well worth it though, it was the birth of a passion.
Being connected is what I do with since 1998. I’m not really sure where it brought me to, but one thing is sure: I’ve been learning, a lot. Things have changed, shaped, evolved. Today, this virtual place is a glimpse of where I’m heading to, one pixel at a time. It’s an attempt to catch and stop a moment, and put it on display. Until the next fresh start.
There’s nothing more left of what I used to be in 1998: everything you see is a sequel way ahead in time. There’s not even anything left of what I was yesterday. Isn’t it crazy?
I like fresh starts and new adventures. I don’t mind putting the past behind. I’d rather keep it as a personal memory, a reminder of where I come from. What matter is now, isn’t it? Or rather, the next instant: yes, this one. And it’s gone already. Let’s make space for novelty.
Body cells replace themselves every month. Even at this very moment. Most everything you think you know about me is nothing more than memories.
- Haruki Murakami
