The Fulamish Project
The Fulamish Project: Cultural Convergence
Welcome to the dedicated page for Marie De Decker's flagship project, "The Fulamish Project: Cultural Convergence - Women, Stories, and Whispers of the Future." This unique and captivating work explores the blending of Flemish and Fulani cultures through touching stories and striking photographs of women from these merged communities.
The Project
Following a DNA test that more precisely revealed her mixed heritage, Marie De Decker was inspired to create "The Fulamish Project" to celebrate cultural mixing and diversity. Although the stories presented are fictional, they feel so real that they captivate the reader's imagination. The book, composed of these fascinating stories and breathtaking images, testifies to the extraordinary ability of women to reinvent their identities and weave connections between their Flemish and Fulani heritages.
In 2012, Marie De Decker had already created a photographic work entitled "Origins" in which she explored her paternal heritage. "The Fulamish Project" is a natural extension of this approach, broadening the scope of her exploration of origins and cultural encounters.
Inspired by famous Flemish Renaissance painters, Marie De Decker's photographs feature models dressed in elaborately detailed outfits and headdresses, subtly blending the two cultures. The meticulous details and rich textures evoke the characteristic atmosphere and depth of these historical paintings.

Marie De Decker is a talented author and passionate photographer. Her unique approach combines storytelling and photography to capture the essence of these cultural encounters. Marie also subtly uses artificial intelligence to enrich her work and push the boundaries of artistic expression.
