She used traditional West-African sculptures from the private collection of her father, Mamadou Ouédraogo. Using 3D-scans, she creates moulds of these sculptures, then enlarges certain parts of these artefacts to human scale, executes these in a variety of materials, aluminum, grey glass and concrete, and finally displays the fragments together.
