MARSAN REV / DREAM SELLER

So many facets and layers embody all Mauritian souls.
In one same physical body, they thrive;
they are past and present, history and future, east and west, plain and complex.
They all have something to say.
But are silenced, by unconscious biases or conscious environments.

Toudim* is a character which encompasses all the above.

He has been with me since the beginning, walking me though the different phases of exploration of my art; helping to build up my identity and providing utter comprehension of my inner self.

Toudim* tries to find balance in a world of chaos, and often positions himself as an observer, sarcastic or amused at what he sees. Sometimes the world evolves withouthim; in other times, he is part of the world around.

“Marsan Rev” is where Toudim* gets rid of his human envelope and chains attached to it. He decides to own his life and set free. He is now a free spirit ready to wander

*Toudim, a short term for “Toudimounn”, doesn’t take into account the difference ofone’s physiscal attribute or representation. It can be a he or a she. Yellow or pink andit reflects anyone’s emotions.

I found through him my own way of saying what I have to say.
