Heads in the form of masks are extended by inhabited bodies clad in collages made from the remains of newspaper clippings.
Key words are strung out: Connection, Voodoo, Master Ra, Re, Fatima, etc. so many words cut, torn, repositioned and readjusted to convey a mysterious-mystical coherence, which are in dialogue with mathematical equations, numerology, Akan and Egyptian gods.

Everything seems intertwined, dense, tangled, blurred, like the explosion of an initial chaos, yet a symbiosis is created. Is there only one vision to be had of these works? Of course not, because the fundamental energies of the Higgs bosons and the mystical bosons of the Akan interact in a strange way, in harmony with both man and the universe.

The Bosons are electrified in throwing us such an abundance of ideas.
