He created these 'synchromies', intimate photographs of tree bark and wood, in which we are introduced to 'the most secret works of life. We can see that life as its exists, expands, exercises its strange talents and displays its inimitable artistry, is composed of regularity and disorder, of exactitude and fantasy. We see life inventing, composing, organising, restoring, adapting itself and invading. Each of these manifestations betrays the subtle and sweet power of life's mystery' (Jean Rostand).
