Jeune homme et son Ti poupoulout

This sculpture embodies a work of memory and transmission, questioning the links between suffering and rebirth, domination and preservation.

The red feet symbolize forced travel and forced migration, while the bright colors reinforce the struggle and vitality of Afro-descendant identities.

Blue jeans inscribe this memory in the present, illustrating cultural evolution. Finally, the head resting in the hands (Ti Poupoulout) evokes protection and resilience in the face of uprooting.

Through its artistic choices and meticulous details, this sculpture becomes a powerful visual memory, celebrating resistance, resilience and the reappropriation of Afro-Caribbean history.
