My work across painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, site-specific and public installation, audiovisual interactive media, performance, curation, and cultural facilitation functions as an interdependent ritual of reverence and remembrance for remembering, honoring and preserving Indigenous Yorùbá and Afrodisaporic knowledge systems, spiritual practices, philosophies, myths, and traditions. Guided by my migration from Lagos, Nigeria, to the U.S. in 2013, my work investigates evolving notions of post-colonial identity, cultural heritage, material intelligence, personal histories, and knowledge production by interrogating and deconstructing what it means to be a 'Contemporary African'.  

Central to my work is the Yorùbá concept of ÀṢẸ—the divine life force & energy that connects all things and allows intention to become reality. ÀṢẸ is both the current and the container. It moves through me as I create, becoming embedded in how the work is made, held, activated, and experienced. I engage with materials as knowledgeable collaborators, transforming the energy, memories, and stories embedded within them into portals between the corporeal and the ethereal. Through a devotional process of layering, concealing, adding, and subtracting material, I create sculptures as votives, paintings as symbols, performances as meditations, photographs as ancestral mirrors, installations as sacred sites, text as incantations, and performances as meditations. 

My work traverses storytelling, mythology, personal history, anthropological research, material and object exploration; and ritual activation, weaving a praxis where matter, memory, and the metaphysical converge. My creative language blends symbols, color, texture, rhythm, layering, movement, mark-making, and scarification to mirror the energetic fluidity and fragmentation of natural environment, memory, history, and identity using the physical and spiritual components of Indigenous Yorùbá/Afrodiasporic oral & cultural tradition, symbols, fabrics & textiles, and significant objects. 

My transdisciplinary practice is a continuum of uncovering, reclaiming, and reimagining the layered histories, spiritual resonances, and evolving identities within Yorùbá, Afrodiasporic, and global experiences. I collapse the past, present, and future into a living archive, a site of continuous becoming where traditional and contemporary realities converge to honor the ancestral wisdom of the living, dead, and unborn. My work is a spirit-led offering that invites us to collectively remember how the past is alive in the present, while forging transformative pathways toward a future that honors the divine in all things.
