Statement

My work explores the tensions between memory, belonging, and identity through pieces that fuse symbols, tactile materials, and contemporary visual languages.

I assemble textiles, plaster, paint, and collage to create surface-objects that carry both intimate and collective narratives where each symbol acts as a fragment of history, territory, or belief. By carving, layering, and marking the material, I attempt to unearth subtle traces like cultural palimpsests.

My works do not depict, they bear witness: they speak of exile, heritage, and invisible borders. They activate a sensitive, fragmented memory shaped by migration, erasure, and reassembled links.

I call this approach “Archaeological Pop Art” an art of excavation, but also of reconstruction, using familiar and reinvented signs.

Rooted in my multicultural background and African heritage, I engage in an ongoing inquiry into universal symbolism and the materiality of belonging in dialogue with contemporary languages of design, digital culture, and textiles.
