Khamekaye means “marker” in the Wolof language, one of the most widely spoken languages in Senegal. Those markers are built with all the waste washed up by the sea, garbage produced by humankind. The bases of the structures are trees - dead wood. My fascination with this sculpting capacity, with all kinds of found objects, prompted me to create my own such markers.
On the one hand, there is a reflection on the creative act itself, and the reuse of
materials, but also a call for attention to the waste that we produce, the deterioration of
the landscape, and a warning siren about the need to protect and take care of it.
