I am interested in ideas that deal with the human condition. Hence, my work revolves around belonging, memories, and individual and collective identity.
After leaving Haiti at 18, I lived in the Dominican Republic for 10 years and in New York City since 2010. My migration journey from Haiti inspired me to explore art-making beyond an insular framework. I create “situation-scapes” by merging architectural forms, essentially scaffolds and motifs, natural forms, and sometimes the human figure or group of human figures. The visual sources are fragments of images of nature I was surrounded by growing up. As well as pictures of places that I take during my travels and daily life. These forms spontaneously emerge, disappear, and reappear with expressive brushstrokes and gestural marks while constructing my painting. I see my work as an invitation to my journey and offering a new visual experience.
