In 2019, I began to see the world through technicolor glasses.

I got caught up in the game of inventing color names inspired by Mauritian life.

​​

Colors permeate our existence; flora, school uniforms, familiar animals, politics, pastries, everyday objects, the passage of time,

and childhood memories. 65 colors came to life in the form of a curious book called "Mots Kouler".

The name of this book is difficult to translate, as it is a wordplay in French and Mauritian Kreol "my colours" & "names of colours".

This book is an invitation to explore a landscape of colors that reflect who we are and what unites us as Mauritians.
