The pachira (pachira aquatica) is a tropical plant whose flowers give edible nuts. Although native to South America, its symbolism is strongest in Asia. According to the Chinese tradition, its palmate leaves resemble hands that catch the good fortune of which the twisted trunk becomes the guardian.

Also popular in Japan and Taiwan, it is often used for ornamental purposes and makes a great housewarming gift by guaranteeing happiness and prosperity to the new home.

The fruits of the pachira are those of the work of art:
To the one who cherishes it, it will exalt his artistic passion and his interior.
To the one who invests, it guarantees a safe, even prosperous investment.

« Through my lens, I make visible what we do not see. »

Following a premature birth, Olivier was born with a disability. Forced to move around in a wheelchair, he is nonetheless a man of value and he uses his talents to show it to us. And he has plenty of talent to express himself, especially as an artist. Passionate about music, he also excels in the field of photography. This represents for him a privileged way to send us a strong message and to prove that whatever our differences, we all have remarkable aptitudes that we can put at the service of others. What he wants to show us through his lens is what we do not always know how to see in what surrounds us, but also another facet of the person with a disability.

 

Olivier donates all of the income from his works to the Handi Radio association in Reims, a radio school for people with reduced mobility.
