Description:
Mache Telèlè (Telèlè Market) is a mesmerizing composition that captures the pulse of daily life in Haiti’s open-air markets. With his signature minimalist style, Polyte Misseaux transforms the crowd into a rhythmic tapestry of repetition and movement — faceless figures rendered in soft monochrome, punctuated by bursts of color from overflowing baskets of fruit and vegetables.
This sea of silhouettes reflects both individuality and unity — a celebration of community, labor, and survival. Each basket tells a story of persistence; each curved line echoes the collective heartbeat of the Haitian people. In Mache Telèlè, Misseaux distills the market’s chaos into harmony, offering an abstract yet deeply human portrait of resilience.
