About The Artwork
My personal and artistic journey leads me to look at the world with the eyes of a Traveler. In our culture, travel is an initiation. Borders are thus an obstacle to overcome. Today, the world is accessible to All through the Internet, social networks and others. Yet, physically, not everyone is equal before the journey. The journey is considered for the Westerners as a leisure as another. For us, the inhabitants of Africa, the journey can only be conceived as a risk-taking. The visa application (rejected at 99%) we contrived either to remain cloistered in our micro space or to take the risk (canoe, boat, ....). The rise of the physical border reconstruction in Europe and the United States leads me to reflect on this notion of travel and frontier. If this continues, each of us in his own country will be confronted with the Wall of the neighboring country. This creation helps us to reflect that the self-confining of the Wall to build us to protect us from the Stranger. We are all the Stranger of someone, and soon We will be forced to look at ourselves above a Wall

Senegalese designer, I worked for four years on the "gum" and especially used tires (car, bike, scooter, truck, ....). I try through my research and my creations to give the pedigree had the tire to its creation (1888 first patent). With them, I created a universe that is mine and I want to share. I sculpture, and cut and braid this material to give it some sweetness, until we have wanted to touch .... statuettes to monumental sculptures, through the wall carvings and furniture , I have fun!!!! and asks those who come to discover my work ..... The museum design vitra Weill am Rhein has selected two of my creations to be part of their permanent collection, allowing me to participate in the exhibition "Making Africa" organized home since March 13, and will travel to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao at the end of the year. It is this selection that I decided to come to Europe in order to present my work and facilitate professional meetings.
