My works often refer to the veneration of twins in West Africa and Haiti. Twins are thought to serve as intermediaries, straddling the mundane and the spiritual. Their position is traditionally ambiguous and paradoxical-two occupying one space, same but different, of this world and, yet again, no. I embrace this concept in my exploration of love, conveying that as human beings we are both knowable and unknowable, to both ourselves and others. –Artist statement
