EBONY
Ebony narrates the history of forests and plants of Mauritius.
The project investigates how Western’s economic ambitions and the perception of islands as paradise and utopia have shaped the landscape, from a Dutch, French and English colony based on slave trade to modern privatisation of the land by the tourism industry.
The viewer witnesses early colonists', writers' and poets' descriptions of the island while hearing the distant drums of the marooned slaves beating in the ghostly forest.

Artist and designer originally from Mauritius, I like to work across disciplines and techniques.
I like to experiment with both digital and analogue processes through moving image and installation work.
My aim is to develop conservation communication methods through immersion and storytelling, investigating people’s relationship to their local ecosystem in parallel to my own.
