Statement:

My West Indian heritage and Manhattan upbringing are foundational to my creative practice. These dual influences inspire my exploration of identity, community, and the intersections of culture. Through my work, I strive to challenge colonial image norms, weaving threads of unity and societal dynamics into my creations. My practice functions as both an inquiry and a statement, much like a scientist delving into uncharted territories. I aim to foster a more critical, holistic, and knowledge-based understanding of contemporary Black life, sparking dialogue and reflection on the complexities of our modern world.
