Growing up between the United States and France with Caribbean parents, most of my life has been spent packing and unpacking, picking up bits & pieces of my life from a place and implanting them in a different one. Doing this gave me a unique perspective on the world from an early age and allowed me to soak up different environments and their respective cultures. As an artist, my work directly reflects this multi-cultural background. I use collage, pastiche, and mixed media to re-contextualize the world I live in to my own understanding.  Themes in my art include:  The mixed identity, multiculturalism, the United States as a brand, satire, black vulnerability, memory, and chaos vs. tranquility. It is important for me, to both visually communicate and also impart my voice in everything that I do as I grow and evolve. That’s why much of my work involves words, writing, or odd naming conventions.I believe a piece of art neither begins nor ends in its tangible, transactional form but in the conversation and context that exists around it.  With that in mind, I aim to create both a mirror and a window into the world, the way I see it.

Born to French-Caribbean parents in 1996, I grew up in between cultures, languages, and identities for most of my life. Home did not have one name, face, or address. I moved between Paris, Toulouse, Miami, New Jersey, Fort-De-France, and Phoenix before the age of 18 and attended the University of Southern California between 2014-2018, where I studied Communication. In 2018, I started a company called Gestalt, where I used clothing to commercialize my art and design practice. Today, I am a working artist and have transitioned Gestalt into a boutique ad agency.

 My collage practice centers on the idea of re-orienting the way we view printed media and advertisements. My work attempts to bridge the gap between the version of the world we are sold and the version of the world we truly live in. I also have a strong focus on memory and the persistence of collective narratives through recordkeeping. Many of my collages play with real historical events and either distort their narrative or re-imagine another one.

 Using vintage magazines, artbooks, newspapers, and found prints, I aim to remind people that the world we inhabit has boundless perspectives, and that we are not tethered to the ones that are pushed upon us. 

 Ultimately, I want my art to challenge image inequity & representation in both the art world and the world of advertising. I want my work to force people to contend with their preconceived notions. I want my work to make people reflect on the power of images.
