Artist Statement
My work investigates the entangled relationship between environmental change and cultural identity, particularly through the lens of my experience as a Haitian immigrant. I explore how rising sea levels, climate gentrification, and environmental degradation deeply impact Black and Afro-Caribbean communities, forcing new migrations and reshaping ancestral connections to land and place.
Through ceramics, illustration, and printmaking, I create detailed, labor-intensive works that echo the fragility and resilience of the Black diaspora in the face of ecological disruption. Using direct and implied human forms, I tell stories of displacement, survival, and adaptation—narratives that mirror both the vulnerability of our ecosystems and the endurance of cultural memory.
My practice is grounded in the symbolism of flora and fauna, drawing from my Afro-Caribbean heritage as well as the indigenous wisdom of the Amazon, the Aboriginal peoples of Australia, and the Yoruba of West Africa. These influences allow me to map a visual dialogue between human identity and the environment, revealing how cultural survival is intertwined with the health of the natural world.
Ultimately, my work serves as a visual archive of self-mythology and collective experience, addressing the urgent need to preserve both ecological and cultural legacies in a time of profound environmental and social upheaval.
