Royal Bubble

• Photographer
  Cheraine Collette

This work challenges perceptions of freedom and confinement. The palace opulence stands as a stark contrast to the lion's natural habitat. A commentary on societal constructs and the often illusionary nature of freedom and wealth. Can the manmade world and the natural world coexist in harmony or will the manmade bubble swallow all?

Cheraine’s work has been published by NG China Traveler, twice in 2020, and is featured by FORBES, My Modern Met, National Geographic, The Wallace Collection Museum, and many more. Cheraine's educational background includes a degree in Photographic Design from the University of Applied Photography (Fotovakschool, Netherlands), completed between 2012 and 2015. Her commitment to continuous learning led her to earn certificates in 'Modern and Contemporary Art and Design Specialization' and 'Seeing Through Photographs', and several others from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA, New York) in 2024.
