Bubu and I both found ourselves in Benin where we connected and through our exploration of vodou culture decided to elaborate a project with our own interpretations. Produced during a research residency in Benin Republic in 2023, Synthetic Dreams delivers an alternative vision of masquerading culture manifested by layering spirits through reused materials.
\nMasquerades are elements of the most sacred institutions in many African cultures, representing part of a larger cultural ethos whose purpose is to ward off enemies and evil spirits. The morphological characteristics of the work come from my studies of African mask ranges and I also reference animal textures through the layering of cloth. The final images emerge from a comparison of individual objects, which evince similarities close enough to justify speaking of a relative continuity of form or combination of forms. The sum of similarities then defines the style.”[\/vc_column_text]\n
