L’avenir

"Oh sailor! Voyaging through the wide and starry sky Far from land, home is sea Look to the light, to guide your way When you're sick, of the foreign ports And the endless blue horizon Look to the light, to guide you home"

A Senegalese sailor, adorned in prehistoric sailor outfit and Senegalese twists. She’s in a meditative posture, quietly plotting and planning ways to forge a better future for sailors. She’s surrounded by 7 ships developed through years of planning, ships filled with sailors voyaging through different seas and starry skies. Finally she pictures herself, at the lighthouse of the mamelles, for sailor she is, and a lighthouse is her “Hope”, for home.
