Ubuntu explores the body as a carrier of identity and memory, created for The Brooklyn Artist Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum’s 200th anniversary, revealing how each individuality is shaped within the collective through a mosaic of singular presences forming a shared, plural identity.

Across fifteen meters, the piece unfurls like a living body, a fluid progression between recollection and emergence. Each material functions as a second skin, shielding, preserving, and, through its fissures, exposing the reality beneath.

The work interrogates identity through the body,  a concept perceived as mutable, perpetually evolving. Identity surges, withdraws, adapts, and redefines itself.

The Ritual_installation_2025.jpg

Together with Silent Truth, The Ritual forms a diptych exploring the tension between normalized images and what they exclude.
The installation recreates an intimate space :  sink, mirror, makeup traces, revealing a daily ritual of correction and conformity.
The cosmetic gesture becomes a performance of imposed norms, exposing the subtle violence of aesthetic expectations and the erasure of bodily truth.
A live performance, in which the artist enacts the ritual, deepens the critical dimension of the piece.

Part of a diptych with The Ritual, this work challenges the everyday staging of the body and imposed norms.
Through photographs and paintings, the artist reveals what society seeks to hide: fragments of marked, forgotten skin. The piece stands as a visual manifesto, celebrating the raw, living body against normative erasure.
Folds of skin and paper merge into a sensitive surface, each fragment asserting a presence that escapes control. By revealing what’s hidden, the work gives voice to the deep, silenced traces of the living.

Meditative braids unfolds in two acts: braiding and unbraiding.

Through this repetitive gesture, the body is transformed, then returned to itself.

The performance explores how visible alterations shape perception, and how identity emerges through cycles of change.
