My work deeply connects Haiti’s past, present, and future. In capturing moments suspended between light and shadow, I aim to reveal the poetry within the everyday—inviting viewers to find beauty in the authenticity of the world around us.
Much like the vision of Nou Ayiti, my art is a meditation on the strength that comes from our history and the transformative potential of our future.
Through the slow, intentional process of analog photography, I honor the resilience and patience of Haiti’s people, while looking forward to a future where unity, purpose, and purposeful action guide us toward a brighter tomorrow. My work speaks to the diasporic bond that unites us in this shared journey, crafting visual narratives that echo the spirit of revolution, resilience, and renewal.
