About The Artwork

Rooted in his mother’s story — a life marked by hardship yet anchored in unwavering values — his work speaks to the quiet, enduring power of self-preservation. Her grace in the face of adversity became his earliest lesson in resilience.

Drawing from the indomitable spirit of African women, his practice seeks to honour their strength, complexity, and courage. These are the women who rise, time and again, carrying dignity as legacy. Through their stories, he has come to understand that true richness lies not in what we acquire, but in what we safeguard within: essence, voice, and truth.
