Remembering "Nati"*

Through the intimacy of her drawing sessions, and exchange with her African models, Waama 1, Peul 2 and Ditamari women 3, the artist unfolds her memories.

These impressions captured from life, these charcoal gestures tinted with the colors of pain and of resignation reveal the intimate secrets of an encounter.
