Racine(s)

"Racine(s)" ("Roots" in French) is a deeply personal project exploring identity, adoption and self-acceptance.
Born in Vietnam and adopted into a French family, I gradually felt the need to embrace this part of my story and share it with the world.
Through this ongoing body of work, I explore resilience, cultural identity and self-love, but also darker experiences such as depression, bullying, racism, loneliness or the question of belonging.
Creating these artworks has helped me reconcile my dual cultural identity and transform personal experiences into a way of advocating for inclusivity, breaking taboos around international adoption and amplifying underrepresented voices.
Racine(s) is a reminder to embrace our roots, be gentle with ourselves and celebrate every part of what makes us who we are. We are warriors of life.
