Step into a world where art expands boundaries and transformation is ever-unfolding. Braque & Picasso’s Daughters draws inspiration from the pioneering collaboration between Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, blending their visionary spirit with the vibrant energy of Pop Art. This series celebrates the continuous evolution of identity, creativity, and self-expression—offering a reimagined take on artistic metamorphosis.
 
The term “daughters” refers to the creative offspring born from Braque and Picasso’s transformative partnership—during which they co-developed a form-shifting visual language and occasionally signed each other’s works, blurring the lines between individual identities. In this series, the “daughters” embody that same fluidity and reinvention. Just as Braque and Picasso reshaped the essence of art, these figures reimagine self-expression, offering a vivid reflection of artistic growth. Braque & Picasso’s Daughters reinterprets their legacy through a fresh lens, celebrating how culture, creativity, and personal growth continually redefine who we are and how we express ourselves.
 
Captured at the iconic Wigstock festival in NYC over two decades ago, these candid images reflect the universal spirit of change. Removed from their original context and reimagined as “ready-mades,” the photographs embrace the fluidity of self-discovery. Infused with the vibrant pulse of Pop Art, each portrait becomes a bold silhouette, set against a solid color backdrop evocative of masters like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Through this reinvention, the figures transcend representation, emerging as symbols of evolution and self-realization—each moving with an inner rhythm, a visual music shaped by presence, energy, and form.
 
A central motif in the series is the guitar—an allusion to Braque and Picasso’s iconic depictions of the instrument. The guitar symbolizes connection, innovation, and transformation. Its sound hole reflects the essence of creativity, while its strings suggest the voice of artistic expression, weaving harmony throughout the series.
 
Since the summer of 2023, I have been projecting this work onto the urban landscape of Harlem, transforming the streets into a living, open-air gallery. As the projections evolve, they breathe new life into the images, reshaping and redefining the artwork with each encounter. The work engages with its surroundings, sparking spontaneous conversations, moments of connection, and shared discovery. The streets become a living canvas—inviting reflection, dialogue, and community through presence.
 
Now, as limited edition prints, this series brings the same artwork projected across Harlem into physical form. Whether you choose a single portrait or the full collection, each piece invites connection—offering color, rhythm, and presence that continues to unfold in your space, shaped by how you live with it.
