As an Afropean artist, I am intrinsically interested in cultural and intellectual diversity. In today's world, it is crucial for us to engage in international exchanges. This allows us to share new ideas and present a contemporary perspective on the world. By leveraging global connections and networks, we can work towards improving our society and dismantling discriminatory borders. Science, economy, and industrialization are powerful tools of our time, provided they are utilized appropriately.


Our era is characterized by the prevalence of statistics, data collection, and analysis, which have become indispensable to our daily lives. In the realm of art, these elements deserve not only acceptance but also greater significance. Both numbers and photography are intertwined in an insatiable pursuit of capturing a semblance of truth. In my works, I amalgamate these common threads, creating a dynamic interplay between abstraction and factual representation. By combining chemical and physical elements with modern techniques, I'm able to extract scenes and mundane objects from their conventional contexts, giving rise to something simultaneously unfamiliar and familiar.


My works consistently strive to blur the boundaries between imagination and reality. They explore phenomena situated within the realms of social, economic, and natural relationships.
