Her name meaning "beginning", represents the peace and stillness of mind she experiences, one with nature and her roots before the adaptation of technology. She mirrors my traditional art phase before my progression into the digital world, my sense of home and comfort.

While my work is named after my Igbo culture my reference for the face paint was gotten from the Karo, or Kara tribe which are a Nilotic ethnic group in Ethiopia famous for their expressive body painting.

Her name meaning "my own", she represents the claim/control man has on technology despite technologies obvious hold on us, right down to our most basic needs, technology has dominated the bulk of our time and our culture suffers as a result. this piece is a visual representation of the fear experienced should technology decide to claim us as their own instead, a battle against our very means of living, a battle against the child of mankind.

This piece speaks on the troubles and mental turmoil I experience on a day-to-day basis as an artist in an ever growing world, the battle to not loose myself and my roots, as traditional art was more than a style of expression to me, I no longer made physical sketches, everything I did depended on my devices and while that in itself isn't a bad thing, it terrified me.

Named after the trickster of the Igbo people, she represents the betrayal of technology/ mankind as the battle has been fought and a victor has been named, but who stands victorious? The decision is left to the time, as mankind ultimately created and became their worst enemy, from controlling to being controlled by, now we stand at the end of the journey for the victor, mankind, technology or the beginning of a new journey for another sentient race. she also symbolizes my two possibilities as a digital artist, one who is grounded in his roots, adapting both a digital and traditional style to my art, or develops into a complete digital artist, foregoing my traditional ways.

This piece foreshadows two possibilities of mankind, our further development or end. The age old war between man and machine.
