At the center of her drawings is, lies, sits... the human figure, devoid of realistic perspectives or proportions, floating weightlessly in the space of the sheet, often defined only by a black outline.

It expresses basic feelings such as sadness, melancholy, euphoria, joie de vivre - also a floating between several worlds - a feeling of being alone and being together - and the human desire for closeness and love. It is an intuitive reflection of their being in this world and their identity. "How am I seen as a black female person in society, what is attributed to me and how can I define myself?"

It is a graphic search for the essences of life. Sometimes quite literally. She describes: "Smells trigger certain thoughts and feelings in me. I could watch a person I like for hours making his coffee. For me, tarte flambée becomes a metaphor for an encounter: 'I'm sore as tarte flambée. - I opened up to you, we ate tarte flambée together. And the smell will always remind me of how sweet you were at that moment.'" (Sonia Gansterer)
