History holds a primordial position in my practice as precolonial African ideologies and frameworks serve as source material for my conceptual ideas. In this project, I draw on forms of knowledge from the precolonial era that explore connectivity and correlation between the different spheres of life. A foremost example is the lack of separation between the secular and the sacred. It is reflected in my work through medium, composition and integration of different segments and ideas. Thus providing a more interconnected framework, a web, upon which my work dwells. In addition, my work recounts tales of slavery and colonial struggles, rewriting and retelling history, while drawing from a personal perspective. This decision becomes a revealing act, bringing to light stories that might have been sidelined throughout history.
