Discover the Playful Paper Art of @aurelycerise

To see more of Aurelie’s designs, follow @aurelycerise on Instagram.

Aurelie Cerise (@aurelycerise) never dreamed she’d become a paper artist for a fairly logical reason — by trade, she was a pharmacist. But during an especially hectic time in her life a few years ago, the Parisian found paper art as a calming hobby. “When I built paper props, I discovered that it really soothed me,” she says.

Aurelie’s art is playful and imaginative — a fruit basket bursting with cherries, berries and lemons; a tomato plant growing in stop motion; bubbles swirling and popping above a cup of tea — and soon, she found herself juggling two full-time jobs. When stress threatened her well-being again last year, Aurelie quit her day gig to focus on paper art. “It’s really hard,” she says. “I work hours and hours. But I have this feeling of freedom, and that’s priceless.”

Reconnecting to the Fun of Photography with Gabriel Bouys

Discover more stories from the French-speaking community on @instagramfr.

(This interview was conducted in French.)

Gabriel Bouys (@gabrielbouys) discovered Instagram thanks to his daughter. “I work as a senior photographer for Agence France-Presse (@afpphoto),” says Gabriel. “I produce images for the media every day, but these are of specific subjects in specific contexts. On Instagram, I’m free to be as creative as I like, with no time pressure, without any need to link the subject to the news. It helps me to remember that photography can be fun.”

Celebrating Cosmonaut’s Day with French Astronaut Thomas Pesquet

Discover more stories from the French-speaking community on @instagramfr.

(This interview was conducted in French.)

From 250 miles (402 kilometers) above Earth, Thomas Pesquet’s (@thom_astro) photos raise our eyes to the stars. The French astronaut, who’s aboard the International Space Station (@iss) for six months, was selected to become an astronaut in 2009. “I began training right away,” says Thomas. “I had to learn Russian, work to stay in peak physical condition and take survival courses. There was also advanced training on how the International Space Station works and how to conduct the scientific experiments that we do aboard.” And, most importantly, he had to learn how to float.

“Floating in microgravity is an amazing feeling,” says Thomas. “You feel so free. At the beginning, I was really awkward — I was trying to do too much too fast. Like riding a bike, it takes time to learn how to do it. But over time, it began to feel more natural. At night, when everyone else is asleep and I have the station to myself, I like to just float for a bit. It totally relaxes me.” When Thomas finally got to the ISS after training, what surprised him most was the beauty of our planet as seen from space. “There are no words, no images that can convey the beauty of the Earth as you soar 250 miles above it,” he says.
