La liberté avait ça de terrible : elle offrait le choix. Dans cette semi paralysie de l’inconscient, elle laissait le libre-arbitre lancer les dés de la destinée, façonnant les mémoires naturelles que le coeur de l’homme en paix avec lui-même construit. Prendre la route, c’est errer en compagnie de soi-même, c’est réapprendre à vivre avec soi. Dans la rencontre avec ses démons les plus intimes se cache le plus grand voyage de l’homme libre.

Freedom had this of terrible: it was offering choice. In the half paralysis of the uncounsciousness, it was letting free-choice throw the dices of faith, shaping the natural memories that the heart of the man in peace with himself is building. Taking the road, it is to wander with ourselves, it is to learn again how to live with ourselves. In the meeting with his most intimate demons is hiding the greatest trip of the free man.

From inside cultures, people and countries, Léon wants to reflect the world as it is. With and without lines, Léon tries not to lie about what he sees and lets know what people express, and what landscapes tell.
