Restaurants du Cœur

From 2012 to 2014, I volunteered at an organization named Restaurants du Cœur, which literally means Heartedly Restaurant. It is a French charity network for homeless and underprivileged people. I worked once a week distributing hot food on the street. At the same time, I worked on a creative project: at the end of the service, I drew portraits of two or three homeless people and started a conversation. At home, I recorded our discussion and finished the portrait. I made a copy and gave it to the model as a gift. The result was a series of 50 graphic portraits and a scribbled notebook of interviews.
