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 through my use of fabrics and various techniques of weaving and connection, which embody the different “Lwa,” or spirits, in Haitian Vodou. My choice of textiles is also deeply inspired by my maternal grandmother’s sewing practice, as well as the way she curated color within her own domestic spaces through curtains, couches, pillows, and other soft furnishings. She worked with eclectic colors and was not afraid to marry colors that would not traditionally match together, an influence that continues to shape my visual sensibility.

I also collaborate and make work in response to and inspired by the Haitian queer community, as well as other underrepresented 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.

Acknowledgments
My work is created with profound reverence and gratitude for the diverse and beautiful communities of my home, Ayiti.

I honor the Haitian Vodou community for its love, sacrifice, resilience, and sacred fight, and recognize Vodou as a living spiritual tradition rooted in African and Taíno knowledge. I thank the ancestors for their protection, labor, wisdom, and enduring presence. I honor and love all Vodouisants in Haiti and around the world, acknowledging the depth of their devotion, the resilience of their practice, and the care with which they sustain this living spiritual tradition. I extend my profound gratitude to my Haitian Muslim brothers and sisters for their spiritual strength, discipline, devotion, and love. And to my Haitian queer community, I offer endless thanks for your courage, brilliance, tenderness, and unwavering care. I offer special thanks to my family and all those who came before me for their long and courageous journey in this world, whose sacrifices made my path possible.
