This series provides an opened window in the lives of his subjects, my series, "Chez…," does the same with the recently immigrated Africans. I choose to photograph them in their home to show their private life, which leads to a glimpse of the homesickness that exists with immigration. These homes are spare and not well settled illustrated the transitional moment the immigrant lives in. The apartments are homogenous with the same beige carpets and walls creating a feeling of cultural claustrophobia, in which the immigrant struggles to combine their traditional cultures, individual culture and their new American culture.
