“By combining acrylic painting and found objects, I create pieces to explore the complexities and nuances of the African diaspora. My works are a reminder of our collective memories and the importance of recontextualizing and reclaiming our cultural and aesthetic legacies. Through vibrant color, texture, and composition, I seek to challenge and disrupt traditional narratives, while also celebrating the strength, resilience, and beauty of both my individual identity and the collective experience of my community.”

“Experimentation is the lifeblood of my work. Experimentation is not about discovery but the channeling and translating of knowledge from other beings.”
