Bringing Art to the Dust: My First Art Journey to AfrikaBurn

There are certain moments in an artist's life that quietly divide time into before and after.

For me, bringing Palm to Soul to AfrikaBurn in 2025 was one of those moments.

Until then, much of my work had lived within the familiar boundaries of studios, galleries, workshops, and private collections. AfrikaBurn presented something entirely different, an opportunity to create not only an artwork, but an experience. A space for reflection, connection, and participation within a temporary city built on creativity and radical self-expression.
