I am a Franco-Maurician designer of the vulnerable and sensitive. Working with ephemeral and intangible materials, I combine edible materials with personal and communal stories and archives. Through edible materials, I explore how meaning can be carried, experimenting with alternative ways to share, pass down, and experience heritage and intimate narratives.
