Supported project: MP#06

Trained in fine arts, then in documentary and photojournalism, she has developed an approach that combines portraiture, staging, and documentary storytelling. Her work explores social and identity issues through an intimate lens, with a focus on exile and memory. Drawing on eighteen years of experience as a social worker, she has developed a human-centered approach.
She has been mentored by the ITEM collective (2022-2023) and collaborates with the press, NGOs, and cultural institutions in France and internationally.
She has worked in the iconographic departments of Le Monde and La Croix, and publishes in Libération, Le Figaro Magazine, Mediapart, Vice, Geographical, NRC, and Der Spiegel, among others.

During MP#06, she will develop a new chapter of her project Le Chant des Abysses, which she has been working on since 2022, on Senegalese migration trajectories. After exploring the departure, those lost at sea, the arrival in the Canary Islands, and the forced return to Senegal, she will open a new chapter in Paris. There, she will follow Senegalese vendors who sell miniature Eiffel Towers to tourists. She hopes to collaborate with the vendors to create a documentary and visual arts series.
