From Under the Mango Tree

• Artist Statement

  Loosely based on the stories which my dad has told me about his journey throughout life. As a first generation child of a Haitian immigrant family, I often feel like a lot is riding on my back. This piece is an expression of my feelings about the pressure of success.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is what I go to when nothing else can really compare. It's the part of me I think I'm most in tune with. It's my ability to express who I am.
