I have been exploring Igbo spirituality since 2016. Here, I explore the Igbo spiritualist idea of mmadu na chi ya, meaning the notion of a person and their personal God through a series of self-portraits that also paid homage to Childish Gambino’s 2016 studio album, Awaken my Love (in part 1).

Places I go (2016 – ongoing)

_{Places I go juxtaposes images of springtime in Central Park with images depicting the socio-economic situation in Nigeria, Ghana, and Brazil. Combined, each image tells the story of how different halves of the world live, drawing on the historical and contemporary context of both locations. New York’s Central Park is a symbol of affluence. It invites viewers to imagine how things might have been without colonialism and capitalism}. _{Exhibited at Family of no man, Rencontres d’Arles, 2018}.
