"Living in Europe and the encounters I made around the world through exhibitions and travels definitely shaped my artwork. I arrived at a young age in Europe and rapidly felt disconnected from my culture and way of living. In a way, photography allowed me to reconnect with my African roots. At the end of the day, my heritage is African. Paradoxically, being abroad actually brought me closer to the African continent. This is why themes like communication, roots and communion are omnipresent in my artwork."
