My current body of work makes use of strong colours to portray a vibrant celebration of the African community's unique identity and the theme of diversity. Through the use of different shades of green and red, I aim to create a contrast between the coolness of human figures and the warmth of the natural environment. This approach highlights the beauty and power of the African community.
Beads are a central element in this body of work, and I carefully thread the beads on individual threads of fishing-line which are then hung from a steel rod to create a cohesive image. This meticulous and labour-intensive process serves as a metaphor for the collective experience of the African community. Each bead represents an individual who is a unique part of the community, but when everyone is brought together, they create a greater and more powerful whole. The final product created from these strings of beads is a stunning representation of the beauty and strength of diversity.
