Laureate 2018 of the Prix de Photographie of the Academie des Beaux—Arts - Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière, her work is realized on the long course, often during travels, and are acquired and presented in various prestigious institutions such as the Petit Palais Museum, the BNF, the MMP + of Marrakech, the Memorial of Rivesaltes, as well as on the occasion of Art Fair throughout the world.

FLORE defines her poetic and timeless universe as a political act and this is her way to position themselves in front of "the beam of darkness that comes from his own time" as Giorgio Agamben says. She uses mainly analog photography and alternative process, sometimes with additions of material like wax, gold or watercolor with particular care for the print.
