ARTIST STATEMENT –  “Lëkkale” ( To connect )
“Lëkkale” which means to connect in Wolof is both an intimate and collective exploration, a quest for identity and openness. It is a call to reconnect with the invisible cords that root the African being in its heritage, while embracing the opportunities and transformations of the contemporary world. In a context where the speed of information and the immediacy of exchanges gradually erase memory, this project raises a vital question: to what, to whom, and to which values do we truly choose to connect? Here, connection is not merely digital or technological; it is also spiritual, cultural, and emotional.
