I am a multidisciplinary artist who is known for my textile installations within my photography and site-specific activations. Through my work, I create images of my Haitian community, seeing them as monuments that elevate the Haitian existence, identity, culture, people, and history.
My artistic practice centers on the act of world-making, with my subjects being photographed as they were "nan rèv," or "in a dream," in Haitian Kreyòl. I view dreams as a medium to reimagine who we are and what we can become as Haitian people. My work pays homage to Haitian Vodou with my use of fabrics and various techniques of weaving and connection, which embody the different "Lwa" or spirits in Haitian Vodou.
I also collaborate and make work in response to and inspired by the Haitian queer community, as well as other unrepresented or marginalized communities, like the Haitian Vodou and Haitian Muslim community. As a queer Haitian with Syrian and Palestinian roots, I explore my multicultural heritage and identity through my art.
My interdisciplinary approach to art is evident in my work, as I play with various mediums like photography, video, performance, installation, and design to dissect, analyze, and honor my homeland of Haiti. My work touches upon themes of social life, politics, human rights, culture, history, psychology, intimate and interpersonal happenings, and what it means to be Haitian. Through my art, I hope to bring about a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Haitian people and their culture, while also challenging and subverting the dominant western narratives surrounding us.
