Branches
What I build
A baobab does not grow straight. Its branches reach in every direction, each seeking its own light - yet all born of the same trunk.
Complementary structures, one point of convergence.
I have built my professional life through organisations that let me work on several dimensions at once - research, creation, fieldwork, advisory. Each touches a different world, but all converge on the same idea: to act in order to understand, to create in order to transform.
