Many daily struggles are tied to financial limitations to start with, however not every social issue should be boiled down to a worthy buzz-word simply to catch attention. We live in a time of extreme media distractions that reduce many social issues to white noise. As an American-born Haitian female who tirelessly exerts herself to reach out and open the proverbial door, I question the constant “cut-paste-collage” reality we endure, just staying afloat according to our society’s standards. I was raised with the mindset that hard work and education open doors; however, we all find ourselves accruing growing debt, gambling on careers, just to end up on the low end of the socioeconomic status pyramid.

As an artist, I create a series of narratives which document our time, my own timeline demonstrating our constant striving within today’s society. Taking into account culture, language and social aspects, my work depicts our endangered existence. Forsaking high-end materials from art supply stores in favor of more everyday materials, repurposed goods, found objects or “clean trash,”

I transform our social dilemmas into abstracted imagery that reflects our long-growing list of struggles, and distill them into art. Via multi-media, I have translated my observations through a series of works which are both figurative and conceptual, architectural yet abstract.
