My work examines the complexities of identity shaped by fragmentation and transition. I am interested in how my generation—and those that follow—navigate multiple, often overlapping understandings of origin, place, and imagined futures. Through my practice, I seek to expand this layered condition, creating compositions that function as markers of identity, place, and shifting states of being.
I integrate spirituality, culture, care, utility, and desire, working between fixed definitions. These pieces act as repositories of lived experience, informed by my migration from Nigeria through the Caribbean to the United States. I approach form as a language to explore displacement, belonging, domesticity, and faith.
I am particularly drawn to the psychological agency of objects - shrines, statues, monuments, and urns - that embody and project identity and desire. I also investigate the poetics of domesticity and utility, using design and function as frameworks for emotional and spatial orientation. At times working in multiples, I explore the tension between collective and individual representation, reflecting ongoing negotiations of cultural and personal authorship.
My materials include clay, fiber, wood, metal, plaster, and resin. While my process often begins with sketches, material studies, and digital models, it remains guided by intuition and open to technical and conceptual development.
