SANKOFA magnets. They're $3.50 each. Slide in my DMs or email me at [email protected] for purchases or questions ☺️. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I can take me some time to be struck by an idea, but when I do there's usually a whole story behind it. In this case, my whole life feels like it's running parallel to my past, except this time, I'm better equipped and I have better understanding of why things became what they are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the pursuit of my true self and giving myself unconditional love, I've had to do a lot of remembering, asking, mourning. The religious environment I grew up in definitely promoted a very different concept to salvation to me. I used believe that there was nothing good in ancient Africa, or that the history of black people pre-colonization was full of barbarism and paganism. I know so much better now that I've taken those deep looks at the past and gained new roots. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The concept of “Sankofa” is derived from King Adinkera of the Akan people of West Africa. “Sankofa” is expressed in the Akan language asSankofa bird “se wo were fi na wosan kofa a yenki.” Literally translated, this means “it is not taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Sankofa” teaches us that we must go back to our roots in order to move forward. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [Source: uis.edu./africanamericanstudies/students/sankofa] #wood #woodwork #woodburn #woodcraft #pyrography #handmade #art #project #kreyolpale #haiti #haitianart #sankofa #ghana #africanroots #mtlartist #mtlhaitians #forsale #razertip https://www.instagram.com/p/CULOAmqpZTa/?utm_medium=tumblr

I can't think of a fun caption, but a game of tic-tac-toe doesn't need much explaining, right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hit up the store (link in bio) or DM me for orders 🤗. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wood #woodwork #woodburn #woodburning #woodcraft #pyrography #handmade #project #kreyolpale #haiti #haitianart #mtlartist #mtlhaitians #forsale #razertip #depop #boardgames #tictactoe #pyrographyart https://www.instagram.com/p/CNtDRYKgrGe/?igshid=nu0k15tvlo0z

okay but hear me out for a second... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ i know i fell really hard for @bts.bighitofficial BUT the songs and lyrics are so good. Also I already learned 7 Korean words 😭🤪 LOL. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ SD is a great song with a very special meaning to South Korea (a fave i can tell already, by the amount of artists who've interpreted it). It's not mt favourite but it's there. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I do love Serendipity, Singularity, UGH and Magic Shop the most as of now, but it expands as I get to know the band. Anyway, you luh this? I luh this 🥰😍😍. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wood #woodwork #woodburn #woodburning #woodcraft #pyrography #handmade #art #project #kreyolpale #bangtanboys #springday #mtlartist #mtlhaitians #forsalesoon #razertip #artminds #music #etsy #wip (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLXgONCgNyB/?igshid=12srwgqui4j7v

One goal i have is to quit renting. I've thought about many aspects of myself, including my need for space, for stability, but adventure as well. I've thought of what it would imply if my doubts about me neurodiverse become facts and the work I'll need to do in order to accomplish #vanlife. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've felt unsafe in every single place I've lived and rented in. I've lived too many awful experiences and I'd like to be able to control my environment to a certain degree. Being on the road, or in a RV would require its own degree of carefulness but it has advantages that mean a lot more to me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's not tangible for me right now given many things, but the goal still exists. so please support me. these are available in my Etsy shop and every sale goes towards my housing situation (link in bio). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ THANK YOU 💞🙏🏾✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wood #woodwork #woodburn #woodburning #woodcraft #pyrography #pyrogravure #handmade #art #project #kreyolpale #haiti #haitianart #mtlartist #mtlhaitians #forsalesoon #razertip #walnuthollow #proverbs #wisdom #etsy #wip https://www.instagram.com/p/CLudWinA-w1/?igshid=is2j8bvvu8xn

when fine line from @harrystyles came out, this song stayed on repeat for a few days ngl. it has this psychedelic, euphoric and free feeling to it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ it made me feel light. so i made a coaster (still use it), but decided to make some magnets too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ they're in my Etsy shop (link in bio)! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wood #woodwork #woodburn #woodburning #woodcraft #pyrography #handmade #art #project #kreyolpale #harrystyles #sunflowervol6 #mtlartist #mtlhaitians # #razertip #walnuthollow #proverbs #wisdom #etsy #forsale #blackowned (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKpKzjWAER9/?igshid=1bdb8834rnul7

Hello everyone,
My name is Fofo and I am an artist of Haitian origin flourishing in Montreal. I had the idea for what is now Kreyol Pale (Pyrography) at the end of 2018 and in 2019 I started working on it. The inspiration comes to me from Haitian culture, but particularly from our oral tradition which is really the aspect that has been the most enriching for me and the one to which I had the most access while growing up.
Kreyol Pale connects my love of textures, wood, paint and words perfectly. I had the privilege of having a mother who spoke to us in Creole more than in French and I drew strength from understanding several proverbs that she often repeated when I faced my own trials of adult life.
With Kreyol Pale I can share the proverbs that have personally impacted me and discover new ones with you.
I invite you to share my adventure by following me on the following platforms:
Facebook
Instagram
Twitter
Tiktok
And you can visit my online store on:
ETSY
If you live on the island of Montreal and want to avoid delivery costs, it is possible to meet for a delivery in person at the metro station of your choice! Payment is made by transfer at that time.
Thank you all in advance for your support.
Fofo x

Bonjour tout le monde,
Mon nom est Fofo et je suis un.e artiste d’origine haïtienne qui a fleuri à Montréal. J’ai eu l'idée que ce qui est maintenant Kreyol Pale (Pyrogravure) fin 2018 et en 2019 je me suis lancé.e. L’inspiration me vient de la culture haïtienne, mais particulièrement de notre tradition orale qui est vraiment l’aspect qui à été pour moi le plus enrichissant et celui auquel j’avais le plus accès en grandissant.
Kreyol Pale vient connecter mon amour des textures, du bois, de la peinture et des mots parfaitement. J’ai eu le privilège d’avoir une mère qui nous parlait plus en créole qu’en français et j’ai puiser de la force en comprenant plusieurs proverbes qu’elle répétait souvent lorsque j’ai fait face à mes épreuves de vie d’adulte.
Avec Kreyol Pale je peux partager les proverbes qui m’ont personnellement impacté et en découvrir de nouveaux avec vous.
Je vous invite à partager mon aventure en me suivant sur les plateformes suivantes:
Facebook
Instagram
Twitter
Tiktok
Et à visiter mon magasin en ligne sur:
ETSY
Si vous habitez sur l’île de Montréal et voulez éviter les frais de livraison, c’est possible de se rencontrer pour une remise en personne à la station de métro de votre choix! Le paiement se fait par transfert à ce moment-là.
Je vous remercie tous d’avance pour votre support.
Fofo x
