It mainly produces volume; Using molding and chinning / recycling objects, she creates sculptures and installations addressing social and societal themes. She usually questions identity, but also the fact of being a woman in this world that surrounds her. It is a hypersensitive person who conceives of creation as sincerely useful only when it is engaged.
Currently, she works on beading, an ancestral technique of different cultures in Africa, which she uses in a contemporary, personal way, appropriating the codes of Western classicism. Through these productions, Beya Gille Gacha tends to combine African and European refinements. Using pearls, symbols of wealth, as epidermis of her sculptures, she wishes to defend the fact that every human being has a value.
She links each of her works to short films and photographs, and thus proposes installations that illustrate her questioning in a more complex way.
