The work is her response to the experience of uprooting to the Senegalese capital, a city as vibrant as it is disorientating. Embracing the chaos of an unfamiliar world, she takes the reader on an exploratory journey through a metropolis in constant flux between construction and demolition, in a sequence that careens between registers.
