“My Body Remembers“
Edition 1 of 1
to keep me afloat in the water, to learn new strokes, to flip, and twist, and play. I felt at home in my body then. Time
has a grip on women, or rather on our bodies. With its passage, we learn to grow aware of it, to fear the violence it
attracts. It is hard to feel at home when your home is constantly invaded, appropriated, robbed. My story is no
different. Over the years, I have learned to live with a body I don’t feel safe in. My relationship with it isn’t built
on safety, confidence, playfulness; but rather fear. It is hard to experience freedom when you are constantly in
a battle with yourself, under the scrutiny of others, seeking to be praised rather than to feel. Once I became aware
of the toxicity of my relationship with my body, I realized I had to set off on a journey to heal it. After all, I could
always remember how I felt in it when I was a child and remembering my childhood always filled with a melancholy,
a longing for a time when I wasn’t at war with myself. The first and most important lesson I had to learn was that my
body didn’t attract violence but was rather designated to receive it. As Julieta Parades bluntly puts it, it was on
the bodies of women that humanity learned how to dominate. Despite the barrage of reminders of this truth,
especially on social media, I have to choose every day to refuse to be the ground on which society enacts its principles
and charts its progress. Most days I fail to. But some days, I know what’s it feels like to be at home in my body.
On those days, I am free. I am in water, I remember how to play, I am the child. There is melancholy in this piece,
but there is also peace. Using a process in part procedural, and in part expressive, I attempted to capture a piece of
my freedom. The result is a loop of animated pixels simulating my physical embodiment, its capacity
for remembrance, and the complexity of unlearning violence.
Visual Artist based in Lagos, Nigeria, creating multi-dimensional art with vibrant contrasting colours that express self-awareness & create a safe space for growth.
“NAPOLEON NO DO PASS DIS ONE”
Edition 1 of 1
boarded one of the many motorcycle taxis, once I hopped on the bike the driver asked me to sit tight, during a
road rage there was a sudden brake and acceleration & reckless driving that could make a passenger fall off if
you are unlucky after we left the scene of the rage the bike man told me with all seriousness in Yoruba “thank
God you sat tight if you had fallen off I’d have sped off and left you to die and I wouldn’t be judged by God
because I already told you to sit tight as soon as you hopped on and no one would be able to get me because
I’d have sped off really fast and if you are lucky you might survive the fall but you most likely might die and if
you did that would have been your fault because I already told you to sit firm, you are lucky & wise to have sat
firm” I never could forget that encounter because I thought to myself the road of Lagos is a battlefield Napoleon sef no do pass this one.

“OVERWHELMING_NOISE“
OVERWHELMING_NOISE is an audiovisual piece that shows a faceless face with changing glitchy tides. It intends to overwhelm by its sound yet to comfort by its colorful elements. The faceless is the blurry that stresses us, but also that ineffable that amazes us. It constantly mutates from multiplicity to unity, going back and forth portraying the ever-changing nature of life.

“30metah for my baby”
As in any country, we have colloquial terms that we use to refer to money. A meter is equivalent million in South
Africa. This artwork is a newly imagined bank note that is worth 30 million rands. “30methah for my baby” speaks
to the financial power dynamics between men and women. It is expected of men to be the providers and women
to be receivers. The intention of this work is to reverse these dynamics and also change the lens on who we see
on bank notes. I’ve intentionally used faces of women who are not recognisable to create a neutral story. Representation
is important. Women should be able to see themselves on the same places men constantly see themselves represented
on. I also wanted to make a bank note that breaks a bit of traditional ways of presenting how money looks.

“Spawn”
“The fungi became, or is for some mysterious reason still to be discovered, a pipeline into a mind, an entelechy, which we can only image as feminine and can only associate somehow to the environment, to the ecosystem. This is the Gaian mind. This is what the goddess really is. The goddess is a network of connective intelligence that is operating on this planet.” – Terence McKenna
