The series of diptychs "Ice Blue" was born from the fortuitous meeting of an Ice bar in Copenhagen and an ice cream parlor in Patagonia. Two sets of blue photos, two sets of photos of ice but in deep contradiction with each other. The ice bar, artificial and sparkling, sports the methylene blue of bunsen burners, is the result of a shameless waste of energy and participates in the melting of the Patagonian glaciers. These, of a natural and delicate blue seem to scream; they twist, crack and collapse through warming, through indifference. Bringing these two series together allows the photographer to hold together the two ends of the global warming chain; the causes [making artificial ice has a significant energy cost], and the consequences [the melting of glaciers at the end of the world as a result of global warming]. This series makes it possible to denounce global warming, its causes and its consequences without depriving yourself of beautiful images, because the ice, whether artificial or natural, keeps its share of beauty and mystery for the eye.

Coming from the world of dance, N_VR has followed several training courses related to photography (evening classes at the ENSP in Arles, internship in the photographic service of the Bordeaux museums, internships with renowned photographers during the Arles RIPs. .), his goal being to visually develop his way of understanding the world.

She also works with publishers (cover photos), has managed a cultural magazine: "L'Ormée" to which she always brings her visual contribution, an article on her work appeared in the magazine "Art Absolument" in June 2015. Since 2016, the artist has participated in “Femmes en Mouvement”, an event supported by the City of Arles whose visual has been chosen from among her works for four years, she offers screenings, exhibitions, workshops “Image de Soi, Image de l'Autre ”and participates in group exhibitions. His photographic series: “Urban Ghost” will be exhibited for the first time in Arles as part of “Arts at Home” then in Calvisson, Valliguières (Gard) and Bègles.

Ut Barley Sugar (Parisian artist and performer) says of her work: “N _ VR is an explorer of the thickness of the present, she crosses reality by barely removing the edges of the present. She reveals another dimension without staging, allowing herself to be surprised by the present moment, which, thanks to the precision of her instinct, triggers in us a vision of the truth. She composes her photos like paintings; the process of creation passes through an interstice of consciousness: feeling and seeing the image between the real and the dream shown. From this pre-awareness of the image, N _ VR composes series that plunge the viewer into a state of unconscious observation. "
