LOST IN YOUR THOUGHTS

"In My Mind" collage intricately blends elements to convey the interplay of thoughts, emotions, and experiences within the mind, encapsulated in a dynamic and visually engaging composition.

At its core, red sponge represents the mind, textured and absorbing, symbolizing the complexities and depth of thoughts. Intertwining threads weave through the sponge, illustrating the interconnected nature of thoughts and emotions that shape our inner worlds.

Surrounding the sponge is a crystal belt, transparent and protective, symbolizing clarity and containment amidst the chaos of mental activity. Within the collage, different scenes depict people dancing and engaging in various activities, reflecting the diverse facets of life and the multifaceted nature of human experience.

Above the scenes, a sponge adorned with pins symbolizes a sense of controlled chaos. The pins suggest order and structure within the tumultuous flow of thoughts, transforming chaos into constructive freedom. This juxtaposition invites viewers to contemplate the balance between spontaneity and control in navigating the complexities of the mind.

In My Mind

This piece depicts my senior year of high school. The people, the feelings, and the moments that stuck with me. I wanted to capture the joyous chaos that is your last year of high school I wanted to share that last moment you have to be a kid.

**"Dialogue of Heritage"**

The final artwork in the series brings forth the concept of conversation across time. Featuring a central figure clad in a teal-colored suit juxtaposed with an archival black-and-white image of a traditionally dressed person, the artist visualizes the ongoing dialogue between the past and present. The piece employs striking colors—yellow, purple, and teal—to symbolize a bridge between different eras and styles, suggesting that modern African identity is an accumulation of conversations with history, culture, and the global stage. The leopard skin beneath the figure reinforces this notion of continuity in cultural symbolism.

  
**Intention**: To establish a visual conversation between the modern African individual and their ancestral past.

**Relevance**: This artwork emphasizes the continuous relationship between tradition and the present, suggesting that modern African identity is layered and complex, with both historic and contemporary influences informing its evolution.
  
  

Toro Ya Bone  (The Fourth Dream)

KitSü is a piece of art furniture that allows you to reconnect with yourself, but also with others. I wanted to create a piece of furniture that is both a separator and a unifier, capable of bringing different people together in the same space. In other words: a space within a space.

Inspired by the Kitsune, a fox spirit with polymorphism, and many other powers, I wanted to create an object in the image of an ancestral love story between a human and a spirit. The KitSü desk screen is my interpretation of this story.

Shaped like an egg, it features a fan-shaped desk adorned with brass leaves, straw inlay and white oak to highlight the workspace. A solid white oak structure has a hexagonal pillar in the center on which are fixed 3 curved wooden panels. Among these 3 sides, one is composed of circular mirrors backed with white oak and inlaid with blue and black straw in reference to the Kitsune fire. It has the particularity of being able to be fixed on different sides of the central pillar with screws, to change the shape of the object. The other two fixed sides, also serving as a foot of the desk, are simply empty: They make the link between the office space and the rest of the composition.

The overall shape of the object is that of a cocoon, while leaving it open to the world around it. Its possibilities of arrangement are multiple and thus leave room for the creativity of each.

Busy Day

A lifeless figure gains a sense of vitality and presence when it is endowed with documentation or fabricated medical records, as these elements lend it a narrative and history. By creating abstract "brain scans" or similar imagery, the figure becomes more than an object; it appears to possess an inner life, thoughts, and experiences. These artificial records act as a bridge between the real and the imagined, suggesting the figure’s complexities and evoking empathy. The act of attributing such data transforms the figure into something alive in the viewer's mind, blurring the line between the artificial and the authentic.

The imagery iare scanned traditional prints turned into acetate prints, creating a brain scan scenario by adding a blue led light.

Contemporary Abstract ''UNTITLED''

AI can decode patterns and unveil the underlying mysteries of our data-driven world, but it also raises questions about the nature of consciousness and the boundaries of reality.

Morphogenesis: A Visual Descent #54

Ode to the legendary counterpart creature of Japanese folklore, this composition serves as a communication from a bygone era adapted to our contemporary reality, reflecting our ever-evolving lifestyles and thoughts, much like the enduring myths that envelop us.

With a commitment to precision, I aimed to center my efforts on the distinctive attributes of the Tengu: the fan, the martial arts concept, and the resulting discipline ingrained in ancestral techniques passed down through generations.

In its formal manifestation, TenGü emerges as a utilitarian and polymorphic creation. Crafted with the intention of minimizing its spatial footprint in our interiors, TenGü ideally finds its place next to expansive windows. When in use, its design facilitates an emotional interaction with the external environment, akin to a Tengu observing from a mountain summit. The user of TenGü assumes the role of the legendary creature honing skills while maintaining vigilant awareness of the surroundings.

Constructed with a robust white oak frame adorned with brass and gold leaf, TenGü integrates traditional cabinet-making techniques involving bending and assembly. The fan-shaped top features a feather pattern in straw marquetry, reminiscent of wings, and incorporates the Tengu feather fan.

The transformation of this furniture piece is initiated by the user, who rotates the fan from a vertical to a horizontal position through a rotating mechanism. A screw system secures the tray during this transformative moment, echoing a ritualistic gesture akin to martial artists preparing for training. At the conclusion of the "training," the tray gracefully returns to its original position, marking the conclusion of the practice.

🌟I found a real pleasure diving in the tranquil blend of blue and orange in this abstract painting that echoes the peaceful harmony of nature. It’s ready and I love it!
