Pixel Heller is a Trinidadian-Canadian multidisciplinary artist whose work touches performance, photography, textiles, ceramics, and painting. The OCAD University graduate draws from her Caribbean roots with themes of Black identity, cultural preservation and carnival masquerade.

“My work is inspired by the Moko Jumbie, a traditional stilt-walking character deeply rooted in West African spirituality and Caribbean carnival culture. I traveled to Tobago to connect with local Moko Jumbies, and through this piece, I explore how they embody protection, resilience, and the continuation of ancestral traditions.” Pixel Heller
