Fruits
What I produce
What the baobab gives to the world - and keeps circulating long after. Stories, novel, music, research, platforms, press.
Each fruit is the result of a long ripening.
Between the field and the office, between Africa and Europe, between the intimate and the universal - the tangible traces of a path that ignores the borders between disciplines.
