My work is concerned with ideas of community and belonging, often referencing the process of journey, healing and transformation that one undergoes in trying to define self. Strongly inspired by Trinidad and Tobago’s affinity for narration, my paintings utilizes reinterpretations of myths, folklore and spirituality to engage how notions of social and economic disparities within a Caribbean context directly police the human experience; more so one’s availability to dignity, opportunity and power and how these needs can cause questions of the integrity of the connections that exists between each other and the land. Having recently moved to NYC, my practice has now begun to focus more on the immigrant experience. Examining the performative nature of one's survival here while acclimating to unfamiliar territories and how this arduous process of reinvention that we undertake allows us to unravel the layers of self that emerge; exploring the authenticity that arises when one dons new personas which allows for truer, more elevated versions of self to come to the fore.
