"Though simple, this piece has had such an impact on me. While making this I came to the realization how much my work is a reflection of my roots. I am Belizean, with ties to the small village of Seine Bight. When I am there I feel a sense of peace, comfort, and belonging. These emotions are at the heart of everything I create.
While I’ve journeyed to some of the world’s most vibrant and bustling cities, nothing compares to the beauty of a hut by the sea, wrapped in the rhythm of nature. This piece is both an origin story and a vision of return.Â
It is a tribute to the place that grounds me."
