The “Highness” project, in the words of its photographer Delphine Diaw Diallo, "starts a new vision in the 21th century which includes mediums of sculpture, design, photography, collages, and music. It is a vision of a new era which gives birth to an evolved future where the audience experiences the gift that is woman. In this, we create a capsule of work that becomes timeless and unbound, a vision for future observers to witness. Indefinite and inevitable, this future will exist…"
