Description

The head gear (gele) is a signature traditional dressing accessory in many pre-modern day African societies. It has been revered as a symbol of modesty and beauty transcending generations and epochs, gaining widespread acceptance and prominence. However, in recent years, the head gear has seen a great decline in use as the younger generation of women and girls are tilting towards western modes of adornment threatening this age long accessory with extinction. the painting eulogizes this emblem of elegance and grace, affirming its relevance even in modern times.

Artist Statement
As an artist, I see myself as an emissary of the soul, the untapped beauties locked up within its walls, the simple yet complex nature of finding oneself and how each art piece inches me closer to that search. My goal for creating art has always been to unravel the disparities in my personality, and finding meaning in this jigsaw puzzle called life. I don just paint for fun or aesthetics, I paint as a messenger, as a lover, as a human, as a dreamer, as a child; learning a new language- the mother tongue of the human spirit; because what we <br>e all here for is to find our individual paths and make our lives count. Painting happens to be the vocabulary my soul uses to tell its story, perhaps the world will hear me.
