Louisiana Creole, the native language of my grandparents, was not passed down to me. The jacket seen in this gallery is covered in words from a mix of Parisian French and Louisiana Creole, along with creatures inspired by the veve of the voodoo spirit Papa Legba, master of communication. These elements work together to explore the sense of longing that comes with losing a language that is a part of your family history, along with the world it represents.
