Her spatialized collages transform photography into a pliable medium: archival images cut apart and recomposed, setting abstract forms in dialogue with island geographies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSince 2022, this practice has crystallized in masonn, a transnational and transmedia project rooted in vernacular architecture and mystical realism within the Black Atlantic. Drawing on the work of architect Jack Berthelot, particularly Kaz antiyé jan moun ka rété, the project explores the ways of inhabiting space specific to Afro-descendant communities as forms of cultural resistance and living continuity. Engaging with the tools of critical narrativity and dissident fiction, Wendie Zahibo envisions the possibilities of a future born from emancipatory narratives and diasporic utopias.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-fee-de-bouillante","title":"Wendie Zahibo - \"La fée de Bouillante\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eLa fée de Bouillante\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWendie Zahibo, Guadeloupe\u003cbr\u003eMedium:\u003cspan lang=\"EN-TT\" class=\"TextRun SCXW35299101 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35299101 BCX0\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePhotography \/ Photocollage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:  130 x 90\u003cspan lang=\"EN-TT\" class=\"TextRun SCXW78063399 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW78063399 BCX0\"\u003e cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDescription:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet against a weathered creole house facade in Bouillante, Guadeloupe, this piece captures a figure in motion, repeated across the frame in a sequence of steps, golden butterfly-like wings unfurled at her back, a fleeting presence caught between the everyday and the mythical, rooted in the island's architectural and cultural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese works belongs to the \"Collages\" series, in which fragments of dwellings and portraits, photographed in places dear to the artist, are digitally combined to build new imaginaries, reflecting a personal history shaped by growing up in Guadeloupe to Ivorian and Central African parents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"Daniel Chrichlow\" href=\"https:\/\/mustiqueart.com\/collections\/daniel-chrichlow\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBack to Artist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca title=\"All Artists\" href=\"https:\/\/mustiqueart.com\/collections\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBack to List of Artists\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Wendie Zahibo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464158724227,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"XCD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/4215\/5907\/files\/Screenshot2026-07-07at9.12.18AM.png?v=1783408363"},{"product_id":"an-ke-lapwen","title":"Wendie Zahibo - \"An kè Lapwen\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn kè Lapwen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWendie Zahibo, Guadeloupe\u003cbr\u003eMedium:\u003cspan data-contrast=\"none\" lang=\"EN-TT\" class=\"TextRun SCXW35299101 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35299101 BCX0\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePhotography \/ Photocollage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:  100 x 100\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\" lang=\"EN-TT\" class=\"TextRun SCXW78063399 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW78063399 BCX0\"\u003e cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2022\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDescription:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAn kè Lapwent is part of a photographic series paying homage to Guadeloupean architectural heritage through the facades of its houses, a subject notably theorized by Marxist independence architect Jack Berthelot in his work \u003ci\u003eKaz antiyé jan moun ka rété\u003c\/i\u003e.
