My practice revolves around the idea of defending oneself against a racist and colonial threat, but also of defending oneself against another danger, more internal and intra-community. Around this is created a double level of violence and a thin line between reassuring and frightening.

In my paintings I try to reconstruct a mental fog and to pay tribute to my ancestors by bringing their stories to life, from my diasporic point of view and my altered memories. Sleep also plays an important role, notably through the prism of dreams but also through the vulnerability that this state implies.

I invoke the notion of "black fantasy", theorized by Ekow Eshun, based on the fact that race is fictional in nature and which relies on this postulate to create a universe around mythologies and Caribbean and African spiritualities. In this case, the voodoo religion takes an important place in my work, both by its aesthetic form and by the fact that it is part of a global afrodescedants story.

The artists who currently inspire me through the stories and images they create are
Noah Davis, Apitchapong Weerasethakul, Josèfa Ntjam, Sedrick Chimson, Maryse Condé and Mati Diop.
