Ndiaye's work explores the unseen forces shaping potential collective futures, using the intertwined lenses of cognitive science, demographic analysis, and a rich tapestry of cultural symbols. Drawing upon astrological archetypes, the vibrant energy of pop culture, the coded languages of subcultures, and the profound wisdom of mystical traditions, the designer crafts speculative artifacts that function as coded messages from possible tomorrows. These objects, concepts, and scenarios are not predictions, but rather carefully constructed provocations, designed to challenge ingrained assumptions and ignite critical reflection on the societal narratives that shape our understanding of the world. By juxtaposing familiar cultural touchstones with projected cognitive and demographic shifts, Ndiaye encourages a deeper examination of the often-unconscious biases and beliefs that inform our individual and collective realities. The resulting work resides in a space between the known and the unknown, asking viewers to actively participate in decoding the potential meanings embedded within each speculative creation. Ultimately, Ndiaye fosters contemplation of the unwritten potentials embedded in cultural narratives.
