From a small Senegalese village near Dakar to the World Wide Web!
In my artistic endeavors, I explore relationships between worlds, shaped by my personal existence between cultures and identities. Visualized connections and philosophical reflections form the foundation of my art, as I navigate between the center of my own universe and the intersections of multiverses. As an artist born in Senegal and raised in Germany, I reflect on my identity and the challenges of a postcolonial world. My works stem from the necessity to create virtual spheres, seeking freedom for self-expression beyond standardized norms. By utilizing digital media and artificial intelligence, I push the boundaries of representation and critically engage with issues such as ethnic injustice and stereotypical beauty ideals. My art creates intermediary worlds for viewers to immerse themselves in, generating a new reality that represents a unique relationship between different spheres
