For Cells, I collaborated with a medical research centre in the Netherlands to extract and print with my own blood cells. Replacing the dots of a screenprint with renditions of own cells.

The result were images that shift between the microscopic and the larger human form. These works connect biology with ancestry, linking my Caribbean heritage and West African roots to the present. By constructing images that are half black and half white #505050, they embody the paradoxes of mixed identity: 50% and 100% simultaneously. The project explores how personal and collective histories live not only in memory and culture, but in the body itself.

While our adventures across West Africa are at the heart of our studio conversations right now, this work is part of a larger, ongoing project: Faces Deconstructed. This series has been developing over many years, and you can explore its origins and evolution on the Project Homepage.
