About the Book
My childhood was cradled by psalms and prayers, within the comforting embrace of faith. The walls of my room were my cloisters, and my thoughts, my hymns. In the cobbled alleys of my mind, I often encountered nuns, those mystical figures draped in white or black, carrying the weight of the sacred upon their shoulders. In my child's imagination, I followed them in their prayers, murmuring with them the secrets of the universe.
Today, I revisit these memories, unearthing them from oblivion to inscribe them in the ephemeral stone of the image. In the delicate draping of lingerie, I perceive the trace of stars, in the sensual curves of naked bodies, I contemplate the perfection of creation. "NUN" is a hymn to femininity, to its eternal strength and its troubling fragility. It is here, in the in-between of the sacred and the profane, that the true revelation resides.

About the Creator
Isia Dumont
France
Always concealed behind her mask, the photographer Isia Dumont embodies a unique blend of softness, punk attitude, and mystery. By personal choice, we know very little about her working method. The only known elements are that she exclusively shoots on film, particularly favoring vintage lenses and natural light. Behind all these mysteries is the artist's primary intent not to impose her own vision but to allow the audience to interpret her work as they wish. Her first artbook, "Hotelle Vol. 1: Beauty, Latex, and Mystery," is now available in bookstores. A collection of 66 photos, designed like paintings, gathered in an enigmatic book.
