About the creator
As a Haitian American and the son of immigrants, I created this piece to honor the shared history of resistance, survival, and freedom that connects Black people across the African diaspora.
The imagery draws inspiration from the myth of Drexciya, the Afrofuturist world imagined by Detroit electronic artists James Stinson and Gerald Donald in the 1990s. Drexciya tells the story of an underwater civilization formed by the unborn children of pregnant African women thrown from slave ships during the Middle Passage. Rather than allowing the Atlantic Ocean to remain only a site of death and loss, Drexciya transforms it into a place of rebirth, memory, and survival.
Together, these histories and myths speak to the same truth: Black existence has always carried both pain and possibility. The Igbo who walked into the water, the revolutionaries who liberated Haiti, and the imagined descendants of Drexciya all represent different expressions of resistance against erasure. The images on this page are meant to honor that legacy — connecting memory, freedom, ancestry, and imagination across generations and across the Atlantic world.
