This artwork was created during a residency in Orquevaux, France, a very remote place in the french countryside. After traveling from Strasbourg for a hair service within a predominantly African community, I was inspired to create a city focusing the memory of the architecture of each place traveled and being connected through the braid of the diaspora. This includes the cityscape of Strasbourg, of Paris, of Chaumont, of Yaoundé, Cameroun and that of Orquevaux as a mind map drawn from memory.

(Framed and matted in white)
Inspired by the sculpture of Pandora releasing chaos in the world, this work makes contact with black history after being isolated in a white hegemony. The growth that I have experienced moving from Atlanta to Detroit, vibrates and echoes around me, exposing the zones of color that have been historically mapped and sustained through redlining and discrimination. Through decolonizing my mind and walking through these spaces, I am able to grow and make contact with my true self, even exposing the very roots of my hair and parts of my being that were forcefully hidden from me for a certain period of time.
