My creative language comes from my childhood obsession with creating spaces to house my emotions that usually stemmed deeply from the economic, environmental, political, and social turmoil that plague my home of Haiti. It was always important for me to extract energy and inspiration from nature, by engaging with leaves from Caribbean exotic wonders, like palm, coconut, and banana trees. All my designs hold those primitives experiences that influence a lot of the exaggerated curves, texture, and surface seen in my illustrations, architecture, and bodywear. It projects a sense of lightness, freedom, strength, and flexibility that I had to receive from nature, to grow and heal in Haiti.

Spaces become healing houses acting as architectural environments for positive growth. They also take another form, by becoming languages and elements of fashion for the development of shapes, identities, textures, and life as growth of layers of emotional and physical expressions. I believe that my clothing design doesn’t only cage and protect our body, but it also reveals what is inside of us. I like to work with wood and metal to create a system of skeleton, and textiles and paper to grow an envelope of revelation.

My work is an intensive process of emotional expressions and research that illustrates and forms artistic and theatrical stories. In my work, I explore abstract and surrealist prints being able to project patterns and compositions of stories. My architectural skills allow me to challenge clothing construction by thinking of innovative ways to layer and join surfaces, design bustiers and accessories, and also to create movement.

My illustrations are portals to a world and experiences of finding self-love, strength, positivity, and happiness, which further find reality by designing clothing and accessories to help people become expressional warriors. As an image maker, the idea of harmonizing sketches done by hand with digital mediums like Photoshop and other graphic software, allows me to further analyze the emotions that were released and the artistic solutions that can be burst to help others with self-emotional awareness.

I have worked with Studio Baboun, which allowed me to morph into different imaginative and creative languages. Through this experience, I understood the importance of creating with a message and with a community and team.

I believe that the future of Fashion, Art, and Architecture will only grow by developing designs that are sensitive to mental health, by working with psychologists and healers to grow a brand towards a direction that is positive to the human body, and with environmentalist for a better and cleaner Earth. My opinion is that provocation in design is only acceptable if it’s projecting positive messages to the world and pushing a vision of hope and courage.
