This artistic project is part of a research on personal identity. The habits and practices of traditional African societies through beliefs, facts, links are reflected there. It is about the abstract links that link, in watermark, concrete facts to potential spiritual causes or those that are difficult to explain, that I have noticed in my family from my childhood until today.
These aspects have become an artistic issue, which I scrutinize.
At the same time, it creates a way of dealing with my family, offers a field of exploration and questioning around the weight and duality between traditional African society, with its standards, and what is called a modern society with its corollaries. Already, photography as a medium has a history involved.

My work explores my family's history and myths, fueled by a lack of connection to my origins. I try not only to write my story, but also to relive those moments before my time. I use archival photographs as a way to explore this. In this perspective where photography crosses time and space, the back of my archival photographs expresses this journey, through the inscriptions that appear there: dates, places, memories, legends.

My story began to take shape in 2015. One day, while I was playing in my father's canoe, I did a backflip in the N'djili river of Kinshasa. I was used to it, but this time I dove so deep into the water that panic washed over me. I felt like I had reached the end when suddenly a hand rushed up and pulled me up. Once home, my father told me that our family had a special connection with water and crocodiles. The crocodile is our family totem.
